There is nothing funny about a serious accident that could have been avoided if if was not for the PIC' s stupidity....i mean error. He pancaked a perfectly safe and performing aircraft in to an embankment at the end of the runway simply because he forgot to latch the engine cowlings and they got ripped off during the take off roll.
wiz may have put it in a funny way but it was very fortunate that no one got killed that night.
I am sure there is a report covering this on the ATSB site. It happened in WA about 10 years ago. I think it was Alligator's Queenair.
