I can't believe nobody called out this bull**** framing. Are people who died in Germanwings Flight 9525 crash "victims of German airlines"? Is Germany's own record so spotless as to call out others like that? (hint: it isn't, Michelstadt, 2001 - 1 pilot; Kindel, 2008: 2 spectators dead,10 injured; Lauf-Lillinghof 2010: 1 spectator dead, 20 injured, Erfurt 2012: pilot killed; Eberswalde-Finow 2013: pilot killed doing illegal stunts).
The truth is that accidents during airshows happen more often than during everyday operation for rather obvious reasons, despite everything that has been done to improve safety since the times of Farnborough, Reno and Ramstein. If you know something about rules violations that might have had anything to do with this tragic accident, speak up by all means. But I somehow highly doubt that.
