Just saw this on the news , pretty terrible stuff , but did i hear correct that the guy who was driving the car the reporters were chasing is getting charged in relation to this terrible accident ?

:wtf:

That's a bunch of bullshit if they try that. I think its just the angry media speculating about shit they don't understand. They could charge him if his driving caused someone to die, or if it was a police helicopter that crashed because it was doing its duty by trailing the guy. But news helicopters are chasing him because they CHOOSE to do so. They are trying to get the story so they can boost their ratings. You can't charge the guy for that, its totally not his fault. Blame the news stations who send their guys out there, blame the dumbass pilot, but you can't blame the guy driving the car.

That's what i thought , if they do actually charge the guy and convict the guy of that then it's definately a judicial system in crisis .

It's really just a terrible tradgedy , nothing more , no one to blame

They're not going to, although they WILL make an example out of him. His bond was set at $1,000,000.

I think that you're right. They're going to make an example of him in this case.

a million dollars for assault, theft, and resisting arrest?? damn, that is very harsh. LOL...if they do try to make an example of this guy, it might backfire on them and turn the dude into a hero/martyr. :lol:

As soon as I figure out which courtroom the guy will be in, I'll listen in and give you guys the updates.
Everything happens for a reason, but sometimes the reason is that you're stupid and make bad decisions.

I aggree , the punishment should fit the crime .

If later down the track they find that there was a fault in the machinery or it is proved to be pilot error conclusivly , then he may have a case .

They're saying that a 'vacuum' was caused that pulled Channel 15 into Channel 3. I doubt it was a machinery problem ........ probably just a lack of observance on the part of the pilot. Everyone trying to get the best angle and the best scoop for their news crew.

I was talking to a pilot yesterday and he said it's amazing this hasn't happened before. He said there is way too much traffic over big cities and no one is talking to each other.

miracle they didn't land on top of a house or mall or something.
