Coming from Norfolk it disappoints me the coverage this tragic event was given in our local press and on our local Anglia T V news when reporting the inquest result, particularly the interview they conducted.
As usual the media hyped it up to the detriment of the TT and made it look as if the organisers were uncaring people and the event was a shambles.
I agree with Toms post having myself been involved in a fatility on the course. When machines and debris start flying about your in the lap of the gods anywhere on the course thats a risk you take whether rider or spectator,and I don't think this incident was any different.
Those of us old enough on here will remember the Le Mans 24hr when spectators were killed and injured sitting in a grandstand on the start /finish strait
