the crew of a PA28 lost their lives approaching Blackpool Airport last year when encountering IMC conditions
In the circumstances, that is in horribly, shockingly, bad taste.
They didn't 'encounter' those conditions, they flew into them knowingly.

In my honest opinion, that post is utterly typical of the dim-witted, thick-skulled, UK PPL community: always justifying their petty little ways with twisted interpretations of the real world.
