4 very lucky people . That accident could have and indeed in many cases would have resulted in fatalities . The one thing that strikes me is the fact that the aircraft takes forever to get airborne initially , much longer than could be regarded as normal , this in itself should have been enough to have aborted the take off , and then when finally airborne it settles back on the runway . When it finally gets airborne and struggles to gain height the pilot still continues towards trees , with no possibility of making a forced landing in the events that followed . Stupidity at it's best , however , 4 very lucky people are still around to tell the story .
