In relation to the Dunk Island events, (though not an isolated case):-
Tourists shaken by plane crash - Local News - Cairns, QLD, Australia (http://www.cairns.com.au/article/2008/10/06/8831_local-news.html)Police said initial reports were that the plane suffered a loss of power during a sudden and strong headwind or there was a flaw in one of the twin engines.Those pesky "sudden and strong headwinds". Police should be trained to simply state that they have NFI about the events or circumstances, and cannot comment when approached by the media for information on aviation accidents.
Does it not concern others that a Police officer will say daft things, such as "we are unsure as to the cause of death until such time as the autopsy has been completed", when the poor murder victim has clearly been shot in the head or similar.
Yet anything aviation related, they seem more than happy shoot their un-educated mouth's off with wild speculation. Simply seems unethical and amateurish to me?
