Skydiving boss 'totally safety conscious'
Relevant offers
Skydive New Zealand director Rod Miller, one of nine people killed in a skydiving accident, was "totally safety conscious", his eldest son says.
Coroner Richard McElrea's inquest into the crash of a skydiving plane near Fox Glacier on September 4, 2010, opened in Greymouth today.
Those killed were Miller, 55, a tandem dive master from Greymouth, pilot Chaminda Senadhira, 33, from Queenstown, and dive masters Adam Bennett, 47, from Australia but living in Motueka, Michael Suter, 32, from New Plymouth, and Christopher McDonald, 62, from Mapua, and tourists Patrick Byrne, 26, of Ireland, Glenn Bourke, 18, of Australia, Annita Kirsten, 23, of Germany, and Brad Coker, 24, of England.
A clearly-emotional Flynn Miller told the inquest skydiving had been part of his father's life for more than 30 years, doing 14,000 successful skydives with most being tandems.
He loved skydiving at Fox Glacier, which was renowned as the second most spectacular skydiving site after Mt Everest, he said.
Rod Miller and John Kerr had started Skydive New Zealand 12 years earlier, Flynn said.
"My father was totally safety conscious in everything he did.
"He would have been devastated with the disaster and the loss of so many lives.
"We miss him very much and wish history could re-write itself."
Flynn said he was concerned about the opinions adopted by some parties following the accident and investigations.
However, he hoped affected by the tragedy could gain some sort of clarification and closure.
His younger brother, Jake, gave a personal statement outside court, disputing the Transport Accident Investigation Commission report's accuracy and reasoning.
He doubted the plane crashed due to weight and balance problems, as its report claimed.
"TAIC believe that the aircraft crashed as it was excessively out of balance and over weight, however, this is an unreasonable assumption considering the tens of thousands of similar skydive loads that have been done in Fletcher aircrafts all over the world."
He said the report was based around the "easy options" and alleged TAIC's investigation was inadequate.
"I believe that the general public have been exposed to a false report and one that is significantly incorrect. I look forward to seeing concrete evidence become known in future months that will alert the general public to TAIC's inferior and incorrect report.
"I can say with confidence, however, that I do believe the factual results of the accident will become known in due course, and that these results will point in a very different direction to TAIC's reasoning.''
New Zealand Parachute Industry Association chief executive Keith Gallaher was questioned this afternoon about the organisation's controls over skydiving operators.
He said the best way it could regulate skydiving was to issue members certificates to ensure they met its standards.
It had no concerns with Sky Dive New Zealand.
He said the centre-of-balance problems raised by the Transport Accident Investigation Commission's report in May were not well understood by pilots before the crash.
Gallaher raised concerns about the Civil Aviation Authority introducing compulsory restraints for skydiving, saying these were potentially dangerous and were designed as crash restraints to stop people moving forward in a crash.
Instead, he believed load restraints rather than crash restraints would be more effective in stopping movement in the plane by skydiving, addressing the potential centre of balance problem.
Aviation expert Barry Payne, who wrote a report on the crash, told the inquest this afternoon the plane's aircraft manual was inadequate for a pilot's use in skydiving flights, particularly in working out the plane's centre of gravity.
He described the aircraft's earlier conversion from a topdressing plane into a skydiving plane, saying the aircraft manual was more suitable for its former use.
Safety critical information, such as the weight and balance data, should have been corrected in its manual when the CAA certified it for skydiving after the conversion.
TAIC's report in May highlighted similar concerns.
A letter read at the coroner's inquest claimed the tragedy was an "inevitable certainty".
Wellington crown solicitor Grant Burston, who is assisting the coroner for the inquest, read the letter by victim Bradley Coker's parents.
They noted the Government had introduced extra controls on skydiving as a result of the crash.
"However, lack of regulation is not the cause of the crash," they said in the letter.
"There have been without doubt major failings by the Civil Aviation Authority and there were major failings by the aircraft operators."
It had been flown out of balance and overloaded 75 times, which meant such an accident was an "inevitable certainty".
They called for law changes to ensure "proper responsibility" to those who were involved, saying there was "no accountability in New Zealand".
Bradley and his girlfriend, Hayley, had been travelling the world together and their engagement was expected on their return to England.
Another letter read at the inquest, from victim Annika Kirsten's parents, Susanne and Werner, said their daughter was due to return home on October 3, but instead her ashes arrived in an urn on September 18.
Her parents had encouraged her to travel to New Zealand, thinking it was a safe country.
Since the crash, they had suffered post-traumatic stress syndrome.
"Together, with our daughter, we lost our future, our sense of life and our hope."
They blamed the CAA for failing to adequately supervise the industry and Skydive New Zealand for acting negligently.
"In the name of our daughter, we ask the responsible people, who are still alive to stand up to their responsibility and to tell the truth about their negligence in the inquest."
Annika's camera was retrieved from the wreckage and the photos were developed, the last one of her in a skyjumping suit just before the jump.
Her parents learnt of the crash when reading a newspaper that had a small article about the Canterbury earthquake and briefly mentioned a plane crash had killed nine people, including someone from their home town in Germany.
The crash occurred less than nine hours after Christchurch's magnitude-7.1 quake, which overshadowed the tragedy at the time.
Pamela Bennett, the mother of victim Adam Bennett, today told the inquest it was hard for her family to express their grief over their loss.
"They are feelings of shock, loss and ultimately the realisation that we will not see him again."
An adventurous soul, Bennett was a base jumper as well as a skydiver and mountaineer.
"He always said skydiving and base jumping were safe, extreme but safe."
When he died, many said he was doing what he loved, she said.
"He was but we wish it could have been different.
"Fly free forever, soar above the clouds, you are loved, you are missed," she said, weeping.
McElrea said the inquest, nearly two years after the crash, had been delayed for other ''investigative processes'' and it would take several months for written findings to be released.
The coroner acknowledged the presence of many family members filling the gallery at the Greymouth District Court as well as those overseas who could watch the proceedings via live streaming on the Justice Ministry website.
It was the first time the case would be considered in the public arena and central to the inquest was the cause of the crash and skydiving regulations or rules.
The coroner said various threads that culminated in ''this calamitous event'' would be examined at the inquest.
''Inevitably, much of the evidence at the hearing will seem to be very distant from the fact that a pilot, four tandem masters and four young adults, each visitors to this country, have died in this way.''
He said those who died in the crash were a diverse and talented group of individuals, and he expressed condolences to their family and friends.
The week-long inquest is being held in the Greymouth District Court. It can be watched on the internet via a live-streaming link on the coronial services website.

"My concern is twofold. One is, a storm like that surely moved some of that material physically to other places, I would think," Fillippeli said. "If they don't cap that or seal it or clean it up, arsenic will continue to make its way slowly into groundwater and lead will be distributed around the neighborhood."
The lack of testing has left some residents with lingering worries.
The Raritan Bay Slag site sits on the beach overlooking a placid harbor with a view of Staten Island. On a recent foggy morning workers were hauling out debris, and some nearby residents wondered whether the superstorm increased or spread the amount of pollution at the site.
"I think it brought a lot of crud in from what's out there," said Elise Pelletier, whose small bungalow sits on a hill overlooking the Raritan Bay Slag site. "You don't know what came in from the water." Her street did not flood because it is up high, but she worries about a park below where people go fishing and walk their dogs. She would like to see more testing done.
Thomas Burke, an associate dean at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, says both federal and state officials generally have a good handle on the major Superfund sites, which often use caps and walls to contain pollution.
"They are designed to hold up," Burke said of such structures, but added that "you always have to be concerned that an unusual event can spread things around in the environment." Burke noted that the storm brought in a "tremendous amount" of water, raising the possibility that groundwater plumes could have changed.
"There really have to be evaluations" of communities near the Superfund sites, he said. "It's important to take a look."
Officials in both New York and New Jersey note they've also been monitoring less toxic sites known as brownfields, and haven't found major problems. The New York DEC said in a statement that brownfields in that state "were not significantly impacted" and that they don't plan further tests for storm impacts.
Larry Ragonese, a spokesman for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, said the agency has done visual inspections of major brownfield sites and also alerted towns and cities to be on the lookout for problems. Ragonese said they just aren't getting calls voicing such concerns.
Back at the Raritan Bay slag site, some residents want more information. And they want the toxic soil, which has sat here for years, out.
Pat Churchill, who was walking her dog in the park along the water, said she's still worried.
"There are unanswered questions. You can't tell me this is all contained. It has to move around," Churchill said.

Home > Press > UAlbany NanoCollege and IMEC to Collaborate on EUV Lithography; First Experiments to be Performed at CNSE's Albany NanoTech
IBM, ASML researchers will also participate in program designed to advance EUV lithography.
The world's two leading centers for next-generation nanoelectronics research and development ("R&D") - the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering ("CNSE") of the University at Albany in Albany, NY and IMEC in Leuven, Belgium - today announced plans to jointly perform extreme ultraviolet lithography ("EUVL") experiments in order to accelerate the introduction of EUVL into manufacturing. The first set of collaborative experiments will be carried out at CNSE's Albany NanoTech Complex, with future joint studies to be conducted at CNSE and IMEC, depending on throughput and/or availability of the tools.
This groundbreaking collaboration between CNSE and IMEC will also involve scientists from IBM and ASML, which has built the world's first full-field EUVL R&D tool, the Alpha Demo Tool ("ADT"). The majority of activities will focus on the advanced imaging capabilities of the EUVL system, with additional effort devoted to the understanding of new materials and various aspects of equipment technology.
The collaboration between CNSE, IMEC, IBM and ASML is expected to further advance the learning on EUVL technology and the associated infrastructure required to support it. Ultimately, this alliance is intended to effectively demonstrate the practical feasibility of EUVL and build confidence in the technology for the 32nm half pitch device node and below.
CNSE Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer Dr. Alain E. Kaloyeros said, "The UAlbany NanoCollege is pleased to partner with IMEC, the leading European R&D organization, and welcome our IMEC colleagues to CNSE's Albany NanoTech Complex, where together with our partners from IBM and ASML, we have a unique opportunity to enable significant advances in EUVL technology that are vital to the manufacturing of future generations of nanoelectronics devices. This pioneering initiative, made possible through the investments of the New York Assembly in the International Venture for Nanoelectronics Technologies (INVENT), further illustrates the success of the vision and leadership of Speaker Silver and the New York Assembly, whose investment and support have been critical in building a globally recognized centerpiece for high-tech research and development in the Empire State."
Luc Van den hove, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at IMEC said, "EUV lithography is a promising solution to further scale CMOS beyond the 32nm but still major challenges need to be overcome. As a leading nanoelectronics R&D center, IMEC sets up collaborations to enhance further semiconductor development. This collaboration between IMEC and the UAlbany NanoCollege proves again that joint R&D is a major benefit for the semiconductor industry worldwide. We look forward to building a great partnership with the UAlbany NanoCollege to advance the state of the art in nanoscale lithography."
CNSE Associate Vice President of Technology and Professor of Nanoscience Dr. James G. Ryan said, "Faculty, scientists and researchers at CNSE look forward to working with researchers from IMEC, IBM and ASML as part of this unique effort, which further reinforces our commitment to the development and commercialization of EUVL technology. This joint program gives us another opportunity to advance EUVL in support of the needs of our corporate partners and the nanoelectronics industry, and we anticipate a successful and fruitful collaboration."
Kurt Ronse, Lithography Program Director at IMEC added, "We are pleased with this collaboration which is a win-win situation for both IMEC and CNSE and the nanoelectronics industry. Since EUV is still in a development phase, the alpha demo tools have to be upgraded occasionally. By opening our facilities for each others EUV experiments, we can guarantee acceleration of EUV research to our industrial partners."
About UAlbany CNSE
The UAlbany CNSE is the first college in the world dedicated to research, development, education, and deployment in the emerging disciplines of nanoscience, nanoengineering, nanobioscience, and nanoeconomics. In May 2007, it was ranked as the world's number one college for nanotechnology and microtechnology in the Annual College Ranking by Small Times magazine.
