The main problem is that nobody with an informed opinion will post, you will get a lot of (understandable) sentiment, and a lot of (potentially dangerous) conjecture. I'm not sure, overall that this is particularly helpful - perhaps some form of "condolence book" forum might be the solution, but I'm not sure how many people would welcome it. Personally when I've lost friends in flying accidents, I prefer to make my condolences less anonymously and more privately.
