medusa Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 It just goes to show that machines can and do go wrong and even experienced and well trained humans are human and fragile. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 Apropos of JoanL's earlier comments; it transpires that several members had gone into the river looking for the cockpit and pilot in order to help. It is now clear that this was wrongly reported as having found and helped him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manofstrad Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 This is so sad, I have watched the Red Arrows for yonks and nothing like this has happened before as far as I can remember. My sympathy goes out to the pilot's family and friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
