Speaking outside of court, Synestra's mother Amanda, an independent finance broker, said the NHS was partly to blame for her daughter's death. "I think part of her depression and Synestra's struggle was the effect of trying to get the GPs to take her seriously and to refer her," she said.

However, the pilot was more than up to the task and brought the plane safely down, despite its undercarriage not working. There was a danger that the aircraft got be set alight due to the sparks caused by the plane landing on its belly, but fire crews were quickly on the scene to spray foam onto the jet and no injuries were reported.  Belly landings are not unheard of, but require great skill from those flying the plane to bring it down safely.
