That said I'm not all that sure what is in the media that gets people steamed up.
You're not sure are you ?
Have you watched any of the major news channels ? Have you read the major papers ?
The way they cover aviation events is despicable, complete sensationalism, nothing else.
I mean, just look at some of the headlines from today :
Horror and chaos follow London chopper crash
A 'miracle' deadly chopper crash wasn't worse
Witnesses had to run for their lives as debris and flames rained down
Fiery chopper crash near British spy agency
Woman witnesses London 'copter crash horror
Copter inferno after pilot hits high-rise crane
2 die as chopper falls into crane on tower
And that's just the headlines from a few of the articles ! The articles themselves are strewn full of un-necessary padding to make the whole thing sound like it was the apocalypse.
Meanwhile, the TV meeja were doing the usual waste of time and resources "rabbit in headlight" tricks .... plus calling in 'experts' that were anything but !
