Theres plenty of armchair experts about "what should have happened". One report says: Eyewitness Sue Stubbs told the BBC she watched the skydivers quit the plane. "The plane's engine just stopped. The plane just glided along for a little while. Within - it must have just been seconds - I thought maybe half a dozen skydivers jumped out, parachutes open," she said. "With that, the plane glided on a little bit further and did a big loop around land area and then nose-dived into the lake." Heres a thought -- Give them a call Skydive Taupo -- 07-377 8300 -- Ask the pilot way he didn't land in a controlled manner -- Bet anything you like you wouldn't have the balls to do it, because you know what they would say.	wainuitech (129)
