Essendon King Air crash.

Terribly unfortunate and bound to have repercussions.

But several pilots expressed concern about the decision by Quartermain to return to Essendon Airport just seconds after take-off.
One aviation expert said turning the plane around would have resulted in a massive loss of power, while pilots are instructed to search for clear space and attempt an emergency landing in the event of mechanical failure.

Once again a shocking attempt at reporting.

Where do they manage to find these 'experts' ?

For those not aware, the King Air B200 is a twin engine turbo-prop. It is not a Cessna 150...

And the 'experts' know by now it wasnt an attempt to turn back.
