newfie, thanks for that post, puts this in some perspective.

TC's point on crowd/mob reactions based on circumstances is worth pondering.

"Aviation is, of itself, not inherently dangerous but, to an even greater extent than the sea, it is very unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity or neglect."

This is as true on the ground as it is in the air, particularly when those wings are moving at flight rpm.
