The [pilot] contacted him and my brother asked him what position he was facing when the plane hit him. AdvertisementHis brother suspected he was putting the fish away, and didn't hear the plane as it zoomed in after running out of fuel. The plane then struck him on the head, knocking him unconscious. My mum is just waiting to talk to him and tell him, 'you're working, you're making good money, go and buy a bloody fish'." He said Matata Beach was his favourite spot but he wasn't sure if he would look for anywhere new.
