I'm not suggesting the pilot called himself a hero, I'm having a go at the media for making that silly comment.

My claws have not come out for the pilot, I don't know him. I have flown out of Dreamworld about 8 years ago & am very aware of the basic dangers there which is why, surprisingly, I was successful in getting some improvements made to the approach/departure area. I think this is the first accident in many years, one reason being the reliability of the 206. As suggested the business could not afford a twin. If the pad was at ground level, it would be safer.
