Firefighting plane down in NSW

[Biggles78]

Could we please note that whatever the circumstances of this tragedy, this man, this pilot was a hero; like ALL fire-fighters he put himself in harms way and was unfortunate to have made the ultimate sacrifice as a result. While not glorifying or detracting from what happened, I hope his wife and children can take some comfort that he died trying to protect others.

David Blake, a true HERO!

My sincerest condolences to his wife, children, family and friends. I truly wish I could swap places with him.
