Pumpkin. People do not necessarily pump out rubbish when placed in front of a camera etc. I witnessed [and videod] a fatal collision at Oshkosh 18 months ago. I gave a TV interview, and a newspaper one, simply because I was asked to. I have,sadly, witnessed 11 crashes over the years at Airshows. When I saw the footage when I got back home, [some numpty put it on U Tube] I was amazed at how much I got wrong. Shock and unfamiliarity play a big part in what people say, and for sure the information can be faulty many times, but not always rubbish. The journo was unsensationalist, polite and asked very sensible questions.
