    Horrible

    That's the only way to describe it. No age for him or his son to die and the way they died is nasty. A true sporting great and you can't help but think of his poor wife and daughter :'( :'( :'(

    It's why...

    ...all the offshore guys have to take the helicopter crash simulation course. The accident rate is that high (I seem to recall a figure of two per year in the North Sea). I'd have to think twice about getting in one.

    aye, one went down in Morecambe bay or so a couple of christmases ago

    oil rig workers no real choice but to use em, although it seems to be more the smaller private ones that go down (so to speak)

    Isn't it the most unsafe way to travel statistically. I'm sure that I read that somewhere.

    Tragic. Not a favourite sport of mine, but he has been a hero to many. RIP.

    very sad news

    along with Richard Burns that's two exceptionally talented British drivers we've lost recently.

    Even if people don't think motorsport is "sport" I'd dare them to sit in a rally car with a professional driver on a forest stage, they'd probably cry for their mummy after a few bends.
