HELICOPTERS NOT TO BLAME FOR FIREWORKS CANCELLATION Sunday Oct 12, 2003 The Australian Rugby Union says checks on the circumstances surrounding a fireworks segment of Friday's Rugby World Cup Opening Ceremony have indicated all helicopters were correctly positioned when a decision was taken not to launch a batch of pyrotechnics. ARU Managing Director John O'Neill says an array of helicopters had taken up safe positions for the "kicking kid" segment but the correct judgment call was made to err on the side of caution. "The helicopter pilots are professionals and did their job. However the pyrotechnicians also have a duty of care and were not 100% certain the airspace was clear. At the end of the day three shells were not launched in what was a small part of a very successful and well received opening ceremony. "The suggestion that a helicopter interfered with the show is incorrect. Our apologies to all the pilots involved - they did their job professionally and had taken up positions in a coordinated fashion at a safe distance." Strath Gordon Head of Media and Communications |
