It's arguable that the reason the fallout from Shoreham was so severe is that those killed were nothing to do with the airshow and just going about their business.

That and perhaps the Nanny State Mindset of the UK plays a role in such reactions.
We could learn from the Americans in that regard, and send 'thoughts and prayers' instead. Far more effective it seems.

This tragedy occurred in a very desolate area of the country with not much in the way of structures and people.
Notwithstanding the seven people on the ground who were injured.
