Abrupt curved maneuver after tow release has caused many similar collisions in the past .. Not saying this is what happened here , but it is the first thing that comes to my mind when seeing this. RIP to both ...:(

"At this stage we're not sure where the ultra-light came from, whether it took off from here or took off from somewhere else and was coming here," Inskip said.
