Condolences to those affected by this tragic event.

To the media, how about some basic fact checking before reporting! Perhaps that's not covered in school anymore. Since when is a Piper Saratoga with clearly one engine in the pics, a twin engine aircraft ? Where's the 2nd engine ?

"A RUNAWAY plane struck and killed a pilot before hitting a stationary aircraft head-on, in a freak tragedy on the tarmac at Parafield Airport on Sunday.
Emergency services rushed to the airfield in Adelaide’s north about 4pm after reports that two planes had crashed on the tarmac.
A 62-year-old Wattle Park man was fatally injured by a yellow single-engine, four-cylinder Cessna, which then careered into a white, twin-engine Piper Saratoga.
