A coroner has called for access to two West Coast glaciers to
be restricted after two Australian brothers were crushed to
death on Fox Glacier last year.
The skydiving plane which crashed killing nine people in Fox
Glacier in September may have been off-balance and overweight
when it took off, the Transport Accident Investigation
Commission says.
"A competent drop pilot with a smile a mile wide" was
remembered and mourned in Glenorchy on Saturday afternoon,
two weeks to the day after he was killed in a plane crash at
Fox Glacier.
The wider West Coast community rallied around Fox Glacier
yesterday as residents mourned the loss of nine people,
killed when a small plane crashed and caught fire at the end
of the town's airstrip at 1.15pm on Saturday.
