Re: Accident waiting to occur
Amazing, as you say - he was not even parked in the white box. Definitely crew error.

Amazing place - stoopid place. Do we know where?

Took place in Seth Effrika. Can’t tell if it was a kaffir at the copter controls or not.
Dumb place to park it. No cordoning off that I could see.

Yes, I was looking at it and thinking that at the very least there should have been a couple of bods doing ground ops to keep traffic clear of it. Although that might have been considered a suicidal job given how people drive in some parts of the world.
Re: Accident waiting to occur
Plenty of space to land and take off there - it wasn't a public transport operation. There should have been a marshaller in front of the aircraft and someone directing the traffic behind. The pilot (in the right hand seat) couldn't see what was happening behind so altogether a Grade A f*ck up!

Tea and biccies with the CP for the Pilot concerned no doubt.
