Thanks DX Wombat ( and a.n.other)
Thanks for the support,I did also receive a PM of support and advice to add AIDU to my ignore list (never used that facility before).
I too was struck by the comments from the victims' father/husband for his concern for the pilot's wellbeing.
My original post was borne out of my absolute contempt for poor/shoddy/lazy/inaccurate and sensationalist reportage (on any subject-not just aviation).
Time to move on and wish the pilot a speedy recovery and the victims relatives strength to rebuild their lives.
