More Sadness At Christmas |

Motorsport TV entrepreneur Brian Kreisky was killed in an aircraft accident on December 23. His brother Michael also died, along with Michael’s two children and his son’s girlfriend.
Kreisky’s Beechcraft King Air 200 had allegedly just been serviced and was bound for Majorca, where the family had planned to spend the holiday. The plane was reported by eye witnesses to be in difficulty moments after take off, and crashed into a factory – which was fortunately empty of staff because of the imminent holiday.
He had been planning a GT programme in 2001, with the Premier 1 Racing Lister for Mike Wilds and Mike Jordan. That deal was abandoned before the accident anyway. Premier 1 was the model of business jet that Kreisky was alleged to have on order for next year, which adds more irony to the whole situation.
