Suitcaseman I think we’re on the same page, but I think using lack of experience as an excuse is not just. There are other indigenous governments all over Africa who have been in power for many years but to no avail. Their land of milk and honey is more a case of blood and starvation. There is no pattern just consistency. This sort of violent action after an air disaster happens all over Africa. Viva!

Pilot's family now denying he was beaten up.
U know if you read and believe everything u read/hear in the quality SA press we have gotten here now we would all be dead, animals would run the country and SAA would be making a profit!!
Glad to hear Glen is on the road to recovery, my condolences to his family.
Come on chaps lets check our facts before we go bashing. Things are down a bit in the country and we dont need this to make it worse.
This is still a great country and has a lot going for it. I got no plans to leave.

Yes or No
Guys,
Very sad about the crash and loss of life. I would just like to get clarity once and for all IF;
The poor surviving pilot was beaten up or not, last post says that his family says he was not beaten up by the crowd of the Taxi so can anyone that actually knows the family or even the survivor tell us exactly what happened after the accident?
Thanks and my condolences to ALL the deceased people and those injured

A Tiger Moth leads to Armageddon!!
Sad to hear of the loss of life and fine old machine. But I am appalled at the thread running through this Thread. Perhaps it simply reflects the state of a bruised country, perhaps crime is so bad that anything associated with 'that mob' is jumped on with fury, perhaps....?
I wonder if a Tiger pranged on the M4 in England and caused a multiple pile up, injuries and death whether the public would automtically side with the pilot (who accidentally caused the prang in the first place) if, let's say, some bereaved or peeved motorist slapped his face.
I wonder...................................
PS Anyone know what caused the Tiger to plummet onto a busy highway?

Ok maybe off topic ..I didn't crash...Had a wonderful weekend down the coast with brother and associated women (listening to Jhn Irelands - "I like hmm with you - -thanks guys) until having a last dop in the hotel bar with my boet, 3 xxxxx "broke" open brand new Trellydoor, roughed up the chicks, stole wallets, phones watches jewellry ....luckily that was all. In this day and age they were v.v.v.v.v.lucky.
Stole my camera, binoculars, car keys and of course my brandy. Girls OK otherwise..... ...makes me sooo mad.
OK I am just another statistic but it pisses me off.
The sad thing about Glens incident is I completely believe it possible which actually makes me quite sad.

After reading Starcrest’s thread you lucky you weren’t in England. Someone could have slapped you. That would've really shaken you up!
I just love the absolute and unbridled merge between aviation and crime - good thing most aircraft don't have keys....
