If you are new on this site, then you are probably not aware about the site protocol on accidents.

Although we are all interested in knowing about those involved, we need to be sure of the facts and generally wait until the public announcement has been made. That saves us from upsetting other members of the forum with a false alarm.

Given that many journos have taken to using this and other sites as a quick and easy way of making up a story, we have to show some responsibility and not rush into print.

On another site, you'll see that Sky News were illustrating their article with a picture of a Rockwell Commander with a caption of "It is not known what the aircraft type was". Thus scaring a load of friends and relatives of Rockwell pilots
