Unbelievable !
If he was your "Friend" like so many of you claim you're worried about you would have a phone number to call, text or email him. More like someone you met through someone else who now flys with QF. These are not "mates" but rather acquaintances Most of you are just wanting to know the story so you can gossip some more, just like the bottom feeding scum that Keg talks about. I had many mates in LAX at the time and I will tell you the last place I would go to find out details is PPRUNE. When someone alerted me to this thread I was truly disgusted. As for being "precious", if that is what you get called for being respectful these days you can call me precious till the cows come home.
Grow up people and stop with "Condolences to friends and family" when all most of you care about is the personal details of a death.
