But please, please, please, dont say anything to those mindless bottom feeders that are journo's.
When there is tragedy far from home most us want to learn from the incident, when it is close to home grieving and shock often turns us against the messenger.
There are both good and bad journalists and eyewitnesses.
A good journalist uses a reliable eyewitness to piece together an account of an incident so the rest of us can be informed.
Those who post a report of an incident on a forum, face book or twitter are undertaking the role of a journalist or at least an expert witness account.
So we are faced with either, doing nothing, posting hopefully accurate information ourselves or supporting good journalists in a hope they will piece together the skeleton facts of an incident.
No question that in some air accidents the most likely cause isn't always the actual cause, but getting reliable facts into the public domain helps prevent damaging misreporting.
