Don't Shoot The Messenger
Bon Giorno…..Trivial…..Yes…..Demeaning…..Yes….. attempting to score brownie points…..Yes….. especially given the scale of family fatalities…..Even more so.
The story by a cub reporter in a small provincial newspaper was all of the above, and was an attempt at pure sensationalism with no proper research into facts, but by putting a picture of Grant Kenny on the front page of the Provincial Newspaper in the locality where he lives and runs his businesses from, was designed purely to sell newspapers.
Your post highlighted the point I was trying to make….being savvy enough to spot the '500 tonne' blooper is easy for people involved in the industry, but is just fodder for the masses, further denigrating the aviation industry in the eyes of those who are not aware of the folly of believing the press
