He should have been charged with manslaughter. There were several others who were involved with the incident as well. I just can’t believe the indifferent attitudes of Landis and everyone else who had been involved. The footage of the accident is on YouTube. I watched it once and I could not stop sobbing. It’s the worst thing I’ve ever seen.
You’d think the guys in the helicopter would have been killed as well. They were 25 feet above Morrow and the kids. How the hell did they expect a 53 year old to carry those kids through choppy water? One was 6 and the other was 7 and children that age aren’t light.
I have this book on the subject:
I recommend it for anyone who’s interested in exploring the tragedy further.
