He should have listened to his client, the weather forecast, etc and done the right thing. But he didn't - and paid the ultimate price for his arrogance, also killing an innocent bystander.

Flying a helicopter above one of the major cities in the world demands the highest of safety standards.

Harsh, but true I'm afraid.
