Johnboy, there is speculation the load shifted. There were heavy vehicles on board.

Sounds a likely cause to me Kea. Pilots don’t fly outside the envelope by choice normally.

Sad for their family’s to have to watch that video.

And what’s with the instant pommy accent mate? Does he turn the kiwi accent on or off depending on the surroundings, hmmm?

That’s been going on for ages now with different ex-kiwi/ Island/ Aussie players. Go there for the $$$$ and then play for the national teams by citizenship… wtf??

And yeah… mostly all NZ’s second tier players.

I watched a TV programme called 3rd Degree.

The first story I watched…. about a farming family who lost their farm due to debt and receivers.

For my money there was a lot of bullshit padding the thing out trying to paint a one sided picture of innocent victims and evil villains.

http://www.3news.co.nz/3rd-Degree-journalist-attacked-in-Taranaki/tabid/423/articleID/290935/Default.aspx

This link will take you to a page that doesn’t tell the the whole story. At one point Reid and camera crew along with a busybody go onto the property and are removed with ‘reasonable force’… which is perfectly legal apparently. They were trespassing… were told to leave. Of course they refused to leave. The police were called and in the meantime they were forcibly removed.

And then these women can’t believe that they were physically removed from the property and crying blue murder that they were pushed around. What in hell did they honestly expect to happen to them? If you’re going to make a nuisance of yourself and put yourself in a situation with no leg to stand on too bad. Don’t cry about it. They weren’t leaving… what did they want to happen? And then they wanted to press charges…. the police said there was no case to answer.

I thought the style the story was presented in had all the credibility of an ab machine infomercial. They quickly told the facts and tried to bury them in amongst all of the dramatic confrontational set-up scenes and emotional heartfelt agony of the family.

I could feel my intelligence being gravely insulted by hyped up sobstory schlock.

It’s an unfortunate story… but only uneducated peasants viewing will be sucked in by the scripted drama added for a good show. Shortland St has got nothing on Melanie Reid and the 3rd Degree team. They really know how to squeeze good melodrama for a story.
