I once was flying something like a Ringmaster on a pretty windy day. It was at just some park where there was power lines on one end. Round and round I went not noticing that I was moving towards the power lines. I skimmed them. Lucky me I noticed and moved away from them. Could have been instant electrocution. Sometimes we get lucky.

Really, a tragedy is losing a family member, by comparison, crashing a model plane is a minor inconvenience.
We all know that any time we fly we could lose that model by one cause or another.
It's sad for the pilot that he lost his at a contest, but otherwise unremarkable.
Why were the speakers so close to the circle, and why did the pilot get so far out of the centre circle?

I thought the same thing when I saw the word tragedy used , but then I thought that since the story was likely translated from Japanese , the translator may have equated the Japanese word for crash to our word tragedy ? For all we know , there is no word in Japanese for "Spectacular Fail" ?

Thank You Coriolan , I figured it was a mis translation between crash and tragedy .
