The minister owed his ultimate safety to the skill of the pilot, who claimed to be in control of the aircraft the whole time

Well he sure is a skilled pilot then, it looked like he was struggling to control it to me. The way he positioned in the far corner prior to lift makes it look like he knew he was hot/heavy/high (not necessarily all of those...) before he even started to lift.

That's the kind of skill I'll be happy to miss out on!

I suspect he'll be joining the concrete boots club shortly !

Looks like it did a +180 just before the skids made contact?
