An apology - P12 British tourist dies after being struck by helicopter rotor blades

Seems he went to an expensive private school.
So despite that he was a thicko who doesn't know helicopters are dangerous.

Seems that because of his background they just want to create a scapegoat


Assuming it's not a suicide
 
I read one report that said he had been escorted to a private lounge to await his connecting private flight to London, then broke away from the group and went back towards the chopper, despite the staff shouting at him to stop. It will all come out in the wash I suppose, just a shame for his poor family, probably straight off the back of a great family holiday and then this, the worst of times for his parents.
 
Do you really ever have any real sympathy when someone you don't know dies? I know I don't :/ have you ever read the obituaries? Most boring page in the newspaper.

I think it's a matter of timing, you can say what a fool a guy was for being decapitated by walking into spinning helicopter blades, but just not a few hours after it's reported. I don't know why that seems to be the case though

It sounds as though his parents were on another helicopter, so they weren’t short of money.

Not that it matters much.

That's why my emotions are conflicted. What a terrible, terrible tragedy but I can't escape the fact that he was a fucking idiot.

I was quite quick to have a go wasn't I? I read the first report and then the second and decided he died stupidly. Of course I have huge sympathy for his family and friends, I'm not that horrible.
