All due sympathies and all, but Hollywood’s been L.A.'s cesspool for half a century. If I was a remotely religious guy I’d be thinking the big guy upstairs hit the full flush button and brought about an act of God.
Maybe. It’s risky business for sure being so close to the ground and having to nose down during drop so the plane doesen’t pop up in the air and can stall.
Yes they apparently clipped a small sand ridge on their way in.
The investigation found that the aircraft “pancaked” when it hit the ground.
This is because after hitting the ridge it basically stalled and flat fell out of the sky, as the low speed and low altitude made it drop straight down onto the soft thick coastal scrub and sand… luckily for them!
My city mates were amazed when spotlighting one time it was cold, I said stop gonna light up a porky and have a quick warm up. They’re like what you going to burn a pig hahaha I said no, light a spinifex bush up, they go off for 10mins. Hilarious.
