Sousa....seems some still cannot grasp what you are saying....autopsy reports, accident reports, eye witness accounts, court transcripts, all fail to record the reality of the event as does recovering the remains of the unfortunate persons who die in crashes. Compound that with the trauma that comes from packing up the remains of those you are personally involved with makes it even worse.
Crash scenes can be overwhelming.....sights, smells, sounds, all remain with you for a very long time. Maybe that is why some of us are prone to speak out in support of strong safety programs that meet the "reality" test instead of merely sounding good on paper.
If we shock someone with a graphic picture or video and they learn something from it.....maybe that will prevent that person from finding their way into a similar photograph with them as the subject.
Genghis......maybe more engineers and pilots should be exposed to the real life results of bad engineering and flying techniques.
It is all well and good to read about it....and maybe attend a funeral, offer condolences, and have a cup of tea and chat about the dear departed. It is another thing to see up close the results of poor performance.
In high school drivers education classes, we all had to watch Signal 30 films....but until our class lost four members due to a 100+ mph crash....it did not sink in. The wrecked car was mandatory viewing .....and after a few days in the warm air....standing downwind was not very pleasant.
