Bloody hell!,
How would we have coped in the RAF with the accident rates in the fifties with all this nonsense? ("Tragedies", "Heros", all round etc.)
Find out the cause of the accident ( if possible), implement the lessons learned and then move on. That is the way in aviation.
Flying is inherently dangerous and man enters the sky at his peril.
Getting written off doesn't automatically make you a "Hero" , just unfortunate in the first analysis.
