That article surely is a ride, I mean...
The right-wing party Alternative for Sweden, for which Lundström ran in the 2021 elections, confirmed his death in a Facebook post on Tuesday.
Didn't know he was right-wing.
On Monday, rescue teams discovered parts of the plane inside the cabin but were unable to identify the pilot.
Sounds like a movie plot.
Lundström was the heir to Swedish crisp bread producer Wasabröd.
Heh.
To be honest, crashing a small plane in that area is not that out of the ordinary, I happen to know some people who died there in a plane crash. The more open airspaces there have a low ceiling, and there is a lot of bad visiblility and high mountains. If the weather is not good, you simply shouldn't fly, or go higher and file IFR, otherwise it's very dangerous for CFIT incidents.
Thanks, I was on my phone and I am awful at typing stuff out so I tend towards brevity without noticing.
Thanks for this excerpt, that's enough for me already :D
Given his leading role in AfS (a party to the right of the far-right SD party, whose role in the ecology of the Swedish far right appears to be to be the ideological shock troops who float extreme ideas and see which of those are ready to be laundered into the mainstream by the “respectable”SD), it’s probably safe to say that this guy was a piece of shit.
That's interesting. Here the AfD just cut the middleman and fulfills both roles.
I'm confused as to what they mean by "not being able to identify the pilot", surely that's the guy whose identity is the easiest to figure out as you can't just take off from a runway without being registered and security cleared etc. Right? Or do they mean that they can't verify that the pilot who took off is the same as the one they found in the wreck?

Under European rules, if you are flying domestically under VFR, you don't necessarily need to even file a flight plan. Even if they did, nobody checks who flies the plane if it's not an international big airport. I mean I sure would file either way, especially since that area is dangerous and I want authorities to know where I am if I disappear in the mountains.
For a small grass strip in the middle of Slovenia, you might not even need a radio, but local regulations might beg to differ.
It's possible it's literally as tight and controlled as getting into and driving a car is.

That's wild to me. I thought there were some international security standards for airports that at the very least logged all pilots taking off. Thanks for the explanation.
At any airport you have probably been to, there is. But a lot of things are on the honor system, which works for pilots because if they catch you lying, they basically reset your career.
I'm assuming that the rescue team couldn't identify the person due to damages to the body.
Meaning the identity had to be confirmed later by someone else (a coroner, probably)

I guess it makes sense, when you're at the front you probably get squished more by the rest of the plane in a nose-first crash.
lately it's becoming hard to ignore how many of the tools i need for piracy, and for privacy in general, are facilitated in some way by right-leaning/far-right people.
it's disappointing and a mindfuck.
Unfortunately despite the title, that's not what they're known for. Bad person died.
He could be all "evil" he was, TPB probably might have died out for lack of funding if he or someone else didn't show up with mad money.
No loss.
