This will be interesting to see the outcome, especially with all the others charged so far as well.

Nescafe

His next reality show will be ‘The Maximum Security Shower Wrangler’

It won't be Crocs he is wrangling.

megan

The police officer involved is the son of a gal I grew up with so have an abiding interest in the story.

Flying Binghi

All this free publicity must be pushing the croc show ratings up..

Tickle

The widow of Wilson has furiously demanded that Netflix stop streaming the show until the legal side of things is finished.

If the aligations are tested in a Court of Law, and found to be of wrong doing, its going to be an extremely sad ending for someone whom had the Northern Territory, its natural beauty and Ecosystem of Crocs, not to mention a Global Media enterprise at at his feet. NT Police, ATSB, CASA are lining up for a feast....

If they are making 'aligations' we should be told who the alligators are....

Sorry, this is a croc thread.......

JohnDixson

Dunno, Crab: if you’re talking gators, crocs and lawyers, it could be about our, without doubt, most litigious state-Florida.

grizzled

Three very closely related species....

lucille

Out of curiosity, is the Wrangler related to the gentleman who owned the Metroliner operation which crashed at Lockhart River, and who subsequently perished in a Citation landing incident at Mishima in PNG?

Same last name, which of course may be just a coincidence.

megle2

Never heard of any family link so I’m assuming “no”

Jhieminga

Cold-blooded, reptilian-brained, bottom-feeding swamp creatures....

Actually, only one of the three fits the entire description.

Evil Twin

Can probably add politicians to those three then

Nescafe

Not a bad description for an operator that fudges maintenance, drains fuel from a crashed helicopter to divert blame and harasses a pilot in his hospital bed, allegedly.

Fun_police

I worked for an operator who fired a guy while he was in hospital recovering from injuries sustained when a PMA blade separated from the rotor head at the root while doing sling ops. Transport Canada later determined that there were voids in the epoxy used in bonding the doublers which caused the blade to eventually fail. This was just the most glaringly obvious example of shady business practices…

Australia doesn’t have a monopoly on assholery…

RickNRoll

ATSB releases final report. Grim reading.

Fuel ran out and the sling was dropped at too high a height to be survivable.

Some may dispute that.

Nescafe

And cocaine in his system.

mickjoebill

CASA determined it was out of fuel before the 1st responders arrived?
