When you live....
From the Age website:
Gold! Surely he ALWAYS steers away from cars and people when landing!
I know we rant about the quality of media reporting but you can't deny it does have entertainment value - my favorite is the archer south of Melbourne where the pilot saved the day by detaching the wings prior to impact.
"My understanding is that the pilot has steered the helicopter away from cars and people to land in an empty part of the car park," Ms Winkel said.
