Folks,
Without trying to over dramitise this, when the full story emerges about this accident, it will become clear how close we came to having a major incident in Melbourne last night.

The aircraft in fact took out the R16 localiser main and monitoring antenae.

Anyone who knows Melbourne will realise how low this dude had to be to do this. Don't know how he missed the strobes. Don't know how he cleared the boundary fence.

As someone else has said, wait for the ATSB report - i guarantee it will be chilling.
