I do not feel that Genghis' post adds anything, other than to show that this forum is not unique in discussing air accidents.

Where the whole thing gets interesting is when we consider not what we post here, as generally the posts are constructive and unassuming, but what the press publish.

As a topical example: Do NOT read if connected with the Staffs incident and likely to be influenced by a press report, published on the internet

If there is genuine concern that internet postings about aviation incidents can influence the outcome of AAIB reports (and I seriously doubt there is), then surely banning press reports is the first step.

As Timothy said elsewhere, if he had discussed his TBM700 incident, it is possible that it may have been read by the French pilot that did exactly the same shortly afterwards, preventing the terrible ensuing incident at Oxford.

Lets stop the supposition and guessing (there has been none, anyway), but by all means discuss incidents and lets all learn, or at least remind ourselves that we must always be thinking ahead when flying.
