    Had this a couple of weeks ago just up from our house.
    On a bend going from a Open Speed Zone into a 50Kph zone the driver was reaching for his phone.
    Said he was doing 60 but the scrapping marks show quite a bit faster

    One of my teachers at school told us they saw the same thing happen. He was with a bunch of Kiwis who all started to laugh and then gave some passing Americans shit about it. Apparently they were curtly told that the crew had been killed also. Always wondered if they had been on the same chutes or got theirs tangled/hit by the falling vehicle. This was a teacher you didn't ask such questions. Maybe the story was BS...

    Plane did the drop. Everything was going well until the package hit the ground.
    First problem was that there was a bit of wind blowing and the chutes didn't deflate on impact. In stead they dragged the LR through 3 of the cocky's fences before there was enough barbed wire around to entangle the chutes.
    Second problem was the cardboard crush cells. They had worked well (sort of) at absorbing the impact, but now the LR was impeded into them and couldn't be driven off them. It was essentially 'bogged' in cardboard. Also, the cells under the engine had managed to punch the radiator upwards, lifting the bonnet, disconnecting all the pipework and loosing all the coolant.

    Was a very interesting watch.

    Oops, looks like how I had to leave my m.u. In the creek up to the wing mirrors for a few days, still went but was the beginning of the end

    No sign of anyone around. Not sure how long it had been there but considering the amount of rain we have had (and will get) it could have been a while. Looked all set up for camping in the back but that may not be a good option at the moment.
