Some elements of the press have chosen to go down the 'hero pilot steered away from the stadium' route, despite there being no evidence of any such thing happening whatsoever.
I don't care about journalists being knobheads; it's the bare-faced brazenness of it that grinds my gears.
Helicopters strike me as fundamentally unsound and un-airworthy objects. What was it someone said? 'All the aerodynamic qualities of a housebrick' or similar?
I also wonder whether the multi-millionaire community have ever done a proper risk assessment on the whole business of flying about in helicopters. They do seem to drop out of the sky with relative regularity.
