As we have come to expect in these type of tragedies, the TV journalist and cameras focussed inordinately on the poor mother's tears. But it is always sad to hear parents think their son was the perfect pilot and could do no wrong. That said, there was no mention whatsoever in the programme of the circumstances of the accident. As usual one hears very little of PNG accidents in the Australian media. What were the circumstances of this specific accident; how many lost their lives; and did the Mayday calls contain specific info on the problem with the aircraft?
