friends:

it has been sometime since this tragedy occurred, and with the final report out this is not the place to argue about battery bounce or unit failures. this is the place to remember a member of our community that is no longer with us. and with gods help no more of us will join him because of the same reasons. if you wish to argue or speculate about causes of failure start a different thread.

i personally think the title should be changed, i suggest " we lost one more and us as a community will be lacking for it". whither the fault was the equipment or the individual, us as a community, have suffered a loss and his family have suffered the biggest loss of all. so let us respect the family and end this.
