Something like this can happen anywhere, anytime... the ground is always waiting to grab you, we all know that. However, the likelihood of an event like this, does always seem to have increased chances of happening in Africa..
One does have to question the wisdom of all the company directors travelling together, though. I'd say not too many readers here today, remember the event of the BHP companys Cessna Citation that left Perth, bound for the Eastern States in the early 1990's... and which ran out of motion lotion just past Kalgoorlie... because the PIC forgot to fill up...
He put her down (rather skilfully, fortunately) on a firebreak, quite a number of NM East of Kalgoorlie, where the vegetation was thankfully, very thin. All aboard walked away without a scratch... however, I'd guess that all aboard broke out the new brown corduroy pants to hide the stains, immediately after they climbed out, too.
It was an extremely fortunate event, whereby there was no fuel for fire, forgiving vegetation, and smooth ground where they put down. It was an event that could easily have wiped out the entire board of BHP, and it sent ripples throughout the entire business community. From that day on, BHP has forbidden the entire board to ride together in the one aircraft.
