Any idea if there is a copy on youtube? Flash banned here so can't view 
it. Very quick googling didn't find it.

Derek,

As it happened, I landed at Waikerie (in my Stemme - its flying again after a 
long hiatus), on the day after this happened (i.e. yesterday). I turned up 
there for reasons quite unrelated to the accident - and spoke to some of the 
people who had witnessed the accident (again, as a side effect of happening to 
be there anyway, nothing more).

So - as it happens, I do have some idea of the answer to your question… but I’m 
not going to speculate/explain here, because in doing so, I’d be communicating 
third hand information about an accident that is actively under investigation - 
which I would see as an irresponsible thing to do. 

This applies to any accident - I’m not singling out this one. 

We all have this totally understandable tendency to want to immediately know 
*how* such an accident happened - I’m sure we’re all motivated by the same 
thing here (trying to figure out how not to have it happen to us in the future, 
whatever ‘it’ is!). 

Anyway, the points I’m making here are:

- There were multiple witnesses
- It is being actively investigated
- I’m sure the people investigating it don’t need to deal with third hand 
speculation on a mailing list in parallel to figuring this out properly
- Early information coming out of *any* accident scene is always incomplete and 
often downright wrong (which feeds into the previous point)

AND

- I’m very happy to know that the pilot involved survived the experience (while 
noting that I’m sure the experience was surely a traumatic one, and that he’ll 
likely take a fair while to recover from it, in several senses)

Regards,
 Simon

[tom . wilksch]

Any more info at this stage? Looks like he got pretty close to the end
of the runway. Not close enough unfortunately.
Glad to hear the pilot is recovering well!
