Helicopter accident

Now that's really bad news... about a month ago, I complained to the Swiss
FOCA (the local FAA) because a helicopter landed in our neighbour's
backyard, and I was sure that he hadn't a permit. Furthermore the maneuver
looked very dangerous because there were tall trees very close nearby, and I
thought this was irresponsible and maybe illegal (after all, I didn't want a
helicopter crash on my house, which is about 30 meters away).

The FOCA thanked me for the information. The helicopter did in fact have a
permit, but for the wrong town. Anyway, they didn't do anything.

Yesterday the helicopter crashed in a similar situation (it somehow touched
a cable or power line) and the pilot's life is in danger.

I now feel bad because I think I could have done more to avoid that... I
mean, I already saw a dangerous situation, and I complained via email. What
I got was a "thank you, not doing anything" reply.

OK, that's not a psychology newsgroup, but I had do tell someone what I feel
about that...
