Was the pilot actually in the machine when it "crashed"?

Yeah I Heard

Where I work we are notified of such occurrences as they may initiate action on our part. So when we got the call, we knew he was in fact not on board. Next day I saw this small story in the paper and thought to hint that it was so without giving anything away, just in case. It is sort of funny. Luckily no serious injuries or damage occurred.

Aha...

Today's story has the detail in it that the pilot actually was NOT in it, so the person who raised that question earlier must have known more than was in the initial story. Very interesting. I'll bet that old guy is going to have trouble insuring his next expensive toy. Helicopters just don't fly themselves well at all.

Pilot of the Machine?

Actually, he was not! I am glad that someone had the courage to finally ask this question. If it wasn’t for people like you, the Obama’s of the world would get away with everything. The so “called” pilot is not even a pilot at all. It was a poor bystander that took advantage of the situation when he saw the “Machine” crash. He now can call his life full because he can finally say he completed his dream in life….. To lie to the FAA!

You got it all wrong.

You got it all wrong. Bush/Cheney are known as the biggest liars ever to run the country.

Take your medicine

The obamas of the world??? What are you even talking about? You think Obama had something to do with this crash? What kind of lunatics are out there. You need help. Please seek treatment before you hurt someone.

Pilots are generally...

...in their aircraft when they crash. Is there something in the Citizen story I missed that suggests otherwise, or do you just have too much free time on your hands?

Where do you think he was?

Where do you think he was on shore running it by radio control? Are you the same person who asked where's the gun regarding the article about the Moore suicide? Pass that doobie along.
