G - its a federal offence and they can be imprisioned for their actions

I think you'll find that gkoutlis is aware of this and would have no problem with throwing him in jail. He merely pointed out that at this point in time, the culprit...or should i say numpty...is not behind bars yet. But he could be behind bars for 2 years.

Passengers onboard a light aircraft that was forced to conduct an emergency landing near Broome today escaped with minor injuries, according to reports.

Emergency crews report that four passengers were "walking wounded" while another may require a stretcher to be moved from the scene.

It is not yet known why the pilot made the emergency landing.

The crash occurred at an area known as the 12 Mile, about 20km out of the town.

Broome Sgt Roger Haynes said details surrounding the plane crash were still sketchy.

“It’s a difficult area to get through, there is fair bit of scrub out there,” Sgt Haynes said.
