You might want to amend your post. /QUOTE]
Why would he want to do that?
Because many of those killed were not there to enjoy the beauty of flight. Too describe it as
just another incident seems particularly insensitive.
I find your fixation with different levels of risks of people on the ground in this tragic accident baffling, nay incomprehensible. Do you differentiate between the paying spectator, the non paying spectator in the layby and the passing motorist? If so, why? To what purpose?
Others on this thread have suggested that those attending the display are accepting of a greater level of risk than those in no way connected, eg the passers by or neighbours. I think someone likened it to the risks accepted by those attending motor racing events. I'm not sure I entirely agree with that and it may be a difficult position to defend should anything go wrong.
But there is a world of difference between what the public (attending or not) should be exposed to and what the display flyer is prepared to take.
Doesn't seem a particularly difficult concept to me.
