Re: Nice to hear that he survived ...
How do we know that the pilot was a 'he'?
Not that I'm making a gender point about women drivers, but. . .
Also: how do we know the pilot was made of indestructible material? And that there was only a 'probability' rather than an absolute certainty of demise if chewed up by the ship's giant propellers?
I suspect there's more to this episode and El Reg's reporting than we realise.
