    It doesn't need government to rule the skies, water, earth, weather, storms, tsunamis earthquakes…
    God of full universe who created whole world and everything in that he is the ruler, and dint gave power to anyone rule over it. Is government or parties done before?

    Glider Flying is a dangerous game. I recall glider flying in Chennai when I ventured to fly with my wife and also the children. The pilot and the passenger are entirely at the mercy of nature depending on nature viz the winds.

    My sympathies go to the deceased and the members of his family.

    RIP. Should know how to fly a glider first. Or in foggy weather in hill-stations. It is not airballoon for 100 ft is low height just like a jump from a 1012 floors building. What if he hit a telecom tower?
