Yes I suppose you're right and in a way I guess we're all to blame. We're in such a hurry these days to get the news "as it happens" that fact and accuracy inevitably get side tracked to some extent in the rush.

It was probably an inappropriate post, but I needed to get it off my chest when I wrote it last night. Sorry, but I'd just had my wife in tears; the girls involved used to ride our pony and you suddenly realise how such tragedies touch so many lives. I've seen so any reports, especially relating to aviation that are sloppily reported, that to think the same thing happens again and again just leaves me cold.
