Exactly!

"find something more entertaining..." than speculation about the cause of air crashes. Well, yes! I don't find this sort of thing "entertaining" at all, one reason I am against it!

I find a lot of it ghoulish, in fact. It is exactly on the level of slowing down, way down, to gawk as you roll past the latest road accident. Back home you give it a few minutes of quiet speculation about what happened but that's all. Here, it gets quiet and it's "Hey! Where did everyone go?"

People on the NTSB are working with information provided by experts, not nudniks trying to guess if the pilot "hit an air pocket," say. When the deliberately low-toned report is published, guess who reads and, hopefully, uses it? "Experts," that's who. You can believe me when I tell you that I pay close attention to them.
