27..."Fast" Eddie worked on BAY not AA TMA and retired a few years back...he didn't take redundancy...pretty much agree with the rest.
As with the Christchurch residents, we were extremely lucky that this didn't occur even 2-3 hours later. 4:30am is probably the quietest time traffic-wise. Would've been interesting had it occurred when all the AM departures had left around the country...say 7:30am.
