Ref the Daily Mail action; whilst it is undoubtedly unforgivable to not respect the family's wishes, how many Ppruners went straight to DM online to establish who was the victim of this accident?
Just what I was thinking. A lot of very self righteous "I've complained to the Press Complaints Commission" and other such ego-swelling stuff, but the numpties posting all the Daily Mail stuff probably don't realise how many people will have gone to that site entirely on the back of their posts. I didn't go to the Daily Mail website, I dislike the paper and have the morals to stand by that dislike, but I only knew they had posted the name thanks to people on here.

If the Daily Mail have disrespected the family, so has each and every poster "lambasting" the paper but in turn directing information seekers to them. A lot of people need to have a long hard look in the mirror today.

My thoughts to the pilot's family.
