Ha! Indeed. I never realised a twin has so much plumbing up front.
There wasn't much talk about this in the news. That article was "front page" on stuff.co.nz for a bit, but it's pretty rubbish. I had to research what it was (I've never actually seen a PA30) and who operated it myself.

I can say this having just gone on my first solo as a freshly minted RAA Pilot

Wow, that was kept pretty quiet - I never heard a thing about it.
The article said it must be a pretty experienced pilot to fly that kind of plane so we must be looking at mechanical error.

Green Goblin,
Comments like that show you to be an amatuer, or a metro pilot, one of the two... Takes one to know one, amatuer that is
And you've got it wrong, my brothers' dry cleaners' auntys' dog was there and it reckons the aircraft just came in waaaaayyy too fast and as the pilot was male, didn't go around...

Obviously low flying. See the Moo Poo on the wing and hori stab?
