rankamateur Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I hope Trooper63 doesn't blow his cover before he catches the hoaxer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Hmm. While anecdote suggests that quite possibly anybody familiar with the M Coates associated with ultralight aviation who has read the Coroner's Findings on the Goulburn Sting accident would be unlikely to believe him if he said the sun would rise tomorrow and he had an affidavit from the Pope to that effect, this - if indeed, as it appears, is a hoax, it's beyond even my belief that he would in fact be associated with it. Somebody bearing a grudge against him, (and that doesn't exactly provide a close focus for scrutiny), possibly. The appropriate word for this - unless it truly does have a basis in fact - I believe, is ghoulish. If emergency services have been scrambled, then I would sincerely hope that the perpetrator of the communications is found and charged with a serious criminal offence, found guilty and given a decent custodial sentence, along with full reparations for the cost of any response. Any diversion of emergency services from having the capacity to respond to real situations potentially places the safety of anybody in genuine need of urgent help in jeopardy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhysmcc Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Deemed a Hoax from JRCC and ASA. I hope they catch this guy, be nothing worse then having to listen and respond to such calls as a controller and thinking you've listened to an aircraft to it's demise, not to mention the wasted resources. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhysmcc Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 The fact the "crash" hasn't been reported in the News, to ATSB or by AMSA isn't enough for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper63 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 A commercial ship(car carrier) volunteered, a helicopter, Several SAR vessels, all for what? Some idiot having a laugh at the expense of others. If anyone has anything credible, feel free to submit to authorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultralights Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 just listening to the atc recording, even before reading anything else, sounds like a hoax, quite a few things dont add up..... for a start. the wedge tail aircraft wouldn't use the callsign "wedgetail7" the voices of the different pilots sounded almost identical... the incorrect terminology and the hydraulic failure in a fixed gear, pushrod and control cable flown aircraft.. hmmmmm not only that, i think by the changing tone in the ATCers voice seam to hint at hime becoming aware its a hoax quite early on, and was stringing it out... Someones been watching to many air crash investigation episodes. hope its not, or is this guy https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/6525694/boat-hoax-man-admits-fake-distress-call/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 The "tell them I love them" bit shows that this bloke is not right in the head. That is a sick addition to the script.

Orienteer Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I went for a nice scenic flight in VH-TLV at the start of the year in Strahan. Glad it's a hoax, but what unstable person does that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
