Well said Shytorque.
I have been deeply affected by this accident. more than by any other of late. I have retired from a long and varied piloting career, and have always accepted the risks and dangers as part of the job.
The difference here is the totally random nature in which Fate goes hunting.
The dead had nothing to do with this airshow, or its risks at all. Simply sitting in a traffic queue and taken in a mad, shocking, fiery instant.
My heart goes out to those poor unfortunate people, and their families and friends who are left behind to pick up the pieces and carry on.
And of course to the pilot and his kin. Whatever turns out to have been the cause of this tragedy, he has to live with it.
