Why is it "pointless" ? The OP was using sarcasm to make a valid point; the general over re-action of the media to aviation related accidents of almost any kind with which most of us are familiar.

It can't be "a valid point" if there is literally no other instance of it ever happening before.

Pointless post.

Ah, I see Nige321. So the OP was conveying contempt for the media for doing something it has literally never done before. Genius.

I would say there are three pointless posts here...
