IOP Beachgoers Endangered by Plane

SOUTH CAROLINA DNR EMPLOYEE ENDANGERS HUNDREDS ON I.O.P. BEACH



A SouthCarolina Department of Natural Resources employee endangered hundreds of beach goers today at the Isle Of Palms beach. He was piloting a small, single engine aircraft that had fuel problems ( they had to refuel the plane on the beach! What, he forgot to fill up when he took off just 30 minutes earlier?) and he quite cowardly landed the plane in the middle of hundreds of innocent bystanders.

Well, here is the world according to Tommy - when anyone makes the decision to go up in an airplane they assume all of the risks involved. They know they may run into bad weather, have engine malfunctions or a myriad of other things that can go wrong with an airplane. Those are the risks they have decided to take. So, when something does goes wrong, they should NEVER pass any of those risks on to anyone who did not willingly sign on for such risks. That would be a cowardly and disdainful act and that is exactly what happened at the IOP beach today!

The ocean was only scant yards away and THAT IS EXACTLY where the pilot should have put his plane, thereby endangering no one but the people on the plane who willingly boarded his plane and strapped on their seat belts. That is what Sully Sullenberger did when he put Flight 1549 into the Hudson River. But, then again, Captain Sullenberger has courage, lots of it. Too bad this DNR fellow has none.
