But such a requirement would afford no protection to people who had no interest in aviation and who were going about their normal business outside the zonal comfort zone; a bitter irony that is relevant to this latest tragedy.
No one goes to any show spectacle motor race or whatever to be killed or seriously injured. You only have to look at the tragic accident at Alton Towers where kids went for the excitement and thrills of the rides?

I do not see a lot of difference between willingly choosing and paying to attend a venue where there is a tragic event or being a innocent person with no interest in the event who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

both are equally tragic and neither chose to be involved in such an accident
But people go for the thrill as in Alton Towers and its a difficult balance putting on a show which gives that thrill or is so protected that the spectator is filled with boredom and does not go again.
