Thanks, CM, you just saved me about 7 paragraphs!
Wageslave,
If I may give you an example of why 'blame without the full picture' is a bad idea;
About 2 years ago I slammed my knackered old GM truck, (well when I say slammed I was doing about 10mph) into my neighbours tree, fence and then their daughters Jeep. Everyone assumed, despite my protestations, that I was going too fast (I wasn't). It turned out that the ignition switch had failed and put the steering lock on, cut the servo to the brakes and left the engine in drive!! (Google GM ignition switch scandal)
I was lucky, several people died due to the switch failure. My point is that many people were blamed for accidents caused by "Driver error" when the car had actually failed them.
Until all the facts are known, I will withhold my judgement on the Shoreham accident. A wise man would do the same.
PS. I have screwed up in jets many times!!!
