This is a tragic event and a sad loss to some ones life. However, there are still two sides to the story. In my experience, there is no such thing as a gentle giant. As nice as people are for 99% of the time. There is a point in every ones life when they lose it for one reason or another. In this case perhaps a couple of weeks of perceived annoyance and the scaring of a couple of horses. Has resulted in an opportunity to have words with the pilot. Then during that encounter and a loss of rational thought. The events that unravelled were tragic and very very sad for all involved. Pilot, co pilot, family and any one that may have witnessed it. Let’s not forget how an event like this can affect people.
