Risk and the way it is seen.
Thirty years ago if this inccident had happened with a Beech or Mooney there would be two dead people and a high energy impact that would have done far more damage that knocking down a few trees and a fence, the trouble is that these days life is perceived as risk free with any accident as being the fault of someone.
Now due to the ambulance chasing lawyers some above see this as a major inccident.............it is not , a wrecked aircraft, a few broken trees, a demolished fence and a bit of work needed from a gardener.
No one was hurt.
All this suff about the risk to people on the ground is all very well and we all don't want to land an aircraft in a built up area but the fact remains that the chances of a member of the public being killed by an aircraft are so small that they are an insignificant risk to life. What the BRS does guarantee that the aircraft falling from the sky does so with little energy and won't arrive with the impact of an artillery shell futher reducing the risk.
I regret the inccident did not happen over open ground largely because if it had not hit anything on the way down I could have made a few bob glueing it back together.
