These sort of events could affect the lives of professional pilots, especially in their infancy (the event not the pilot!) if a large land and air search was being carried out with the associated TRA's and all.
IMHO PPRUNE is being framented into far too many forums, surely BIZ JETS AND GA could be merged with PRIVATE FLYING. Hopefully there would be less chance of missing interesting or useful posts.
