Alcohol Realated Accident
- I Know Who Killed Carol Gotbaum-
The four police officers responsible for arresting and incarcerated Carol Gotbaum, who died in custody, at the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport were cleared of all charges and wrongdoing this week by a civil court. Thank goodness these public servants were cleared, now maybe they can get down to doing the serious work to bring her real killer to justice.
Mrs. Gotbaum was arrested for disorderly conduct after missing a flight that had been scheduled to transport her to a treatment center for alcoholism. She died while struggling to escape from her shackles and chains by asphyxiation. Her family had sued Phoenix for $8 million accusing the police of using “excessive and unreasonable force." While maybe not as high profile, there is a large segment of the population that places the blame on the victim’s family who sent the emotionally and physically unstable Gotbaum off on a stressful trip alone. Neither of these groups can be blamed for her death… but it seems very few are really interested in bringing her actual killer to justice.

”Completely out of character”, that is how an associate described the reckless behavior of Wairoa Aero Club members Antony Donald Bell, 30, and Darren John McNay, 39 which resulted in a plane crash that claimed both their lives.
Authorities are trying to piece together the events that led up to the fatal crash and of course since you are reading it here; alcohol is considered a factor in the accident. Ask any police officer or parent for that matter and they will almost inevitably tell you that rarely anything thing that occurs between the hours of two and six AM is legit, legal, or safe. So it should come at no surprise that police believe the pilot and his passenger had been drinking at a party before deciding to take to the skies at 3 o’clock in the morning.
The microlight plane was not designed for night flying and it’s illegal to do so. It was raining. There was lightning. It was foggy. Officials described the ill fated night as having the ”worst possible” flying conditions, especially when you throw a few drinks into the mix.
