It's terrible when accidents like this happen, but we need to put them into perspective. To almost dismiss kids killed in cars as just normal accidents and those killed in aircraft as being any more tragic would be stupid. Unfortunately, most of the press is sensationalist and well, STUPID!
I agree with this sentiment, but to some extent all of us who post here on pprune are guilty of the same.
Because we are flyers, we attach our interest to the story. People are killed every day in all sorts of circumstances and for most of us it is just another news story.
This is a sad and tragic story but lets put it in perspective. these deaths are no worse than any other..............ANY death is a tragedy.
