Fatal air accidents; Has anyone else noticed that from time to time...
Someone says how brave & heroic the pilot was to steer the aircraft away from buildings etc before they crashed sparing the lives of others on the ground etc. What a load of rubbish, the pilot avoided the cluster of solid concrete buildings filled with people to crash into an empty field not necessarily to spare the lives of those on the ground but to gives themselves & those on board a better chance of surviving.
I was watching an Air Crash Investigation episode about the Air Midwest Flight 5481 Beechcraft 1900D, they said how heroic the pilot was to steer the aircraft away from directly hitting the hangar full of workers. What the ****? Since when has a concrete hangar acted like cushion?
Does anyone else notice this sort of thing? This is a perfect example of how the media can get carried away.
