Thumbs down This accident....

Low experience, high experience....does not matter...if you are bound for a mid-air, one will have one. The thing that worries me is the fact of increased viewer ratings, the sensation, and the elbowing for the best vantage point.

Enough said, I had a photographer onboard some moons ago screaming and yelling like a jarhead in a battlefield when he saw an opportunity to get a picture. Most importantantly, stay calm...man, I hate it when people yell in the cockpit.

Nevertheless, the accident footage is sobering...

just what the average viewer wants....the drama live on TV....sorry, just a thought
