    A helicopter pilot near Darwin Australia became so excited when he spotted a crocodile that he flew in for a closer look and crashed into mudflats. FFS they now blame the crock for the crash.:rolleyes:

    This could have very easily been a contender for the Darwin Awards. :pac:

    ''Pilot causes helicopter crash near Darwin.''

    Less exciting but more accurate.

    I guess the croc was praying for dinner to fall from the sky, and his prayers were answered...

    The pilot blames the crocodile!

    Avoid injury claim from the passenger, sue the crocodile instead.

    Concerned that his friend could get hypothermia, the pilot buried him in sand before raising the alarm.
    Tried to hide the evidence more like.

    Did they catch the croc who did it? He deserves to be locked up.
