If people want to take a general observation personally then that's their issue, it's impossible to say anything without offending someone ESPECIALLY on these boards.
Some of you guy's (& not just in this thread) have the personality of a stone.
Sykes the only dumb questions are the ones you don't ask. I stand by those quotes, if someone is being a smart ass why respect them? **** em.

Although it would be nice to think (and a comfort to loved ones) that these unfortunate pilots died in the heroic manner the media described, it is more than probable that the thought of 'oh thats a school' or 'best avoid that particular building full of workers' never crossed their minds. Rather it would be 'wtf and how do i regain control'.
The indian student crashed into a house didnt he, if he had the time to recognise and enough control to avoid a school I reckon he might have tried to avoid a house as well. The 1900D had just stalled on takeoff, I would guess they had zero control over where they were going.
Im fine with ' the pilot valiantly tried to recover control of the aircraft' but all these media hyped heros just belittle the few actual heros we have.

There is a difference between a crash caused by loss of control and a crash caused by an engine failure. Loss of control is exactly that, loss of control and everything it entails. With an engine failure though, one usually still has control of their aircraft and to an extent choices about where to put down.

Keep them coming mate! You're like a fine red wine: gets better with age. 
Just don't go to vinegar... 
I agree! 
BUT...
Your first post on this thread is LIKELY to offend! If you can't see that, then you really should get out more!
And as I said earlier, it may have been a "general observation" to you, but it is a pretty ignorant and offensive "general observation" to me (and to some others here, obviously).
More abuse! Please tell us all how you expect to win us over with this kind of comment???? 
I agree! But it's your reaction when people point that out to you that make threads like this amusing.. If asking what is a dumb question, most others (including me) would reply with a "D'oh" or "thanks" instead of your incoherent rants. 
Mate, what you've got to ask yourself is why would ANYONE respect YOU or your questions, when you react the way that you do??
If you can't handle a bit of stick on an anonymous web forum without acting like a 2 year old who's had his lollipop taken away, then maybe you should just bugger off?

Steve, no matter what you do and say on here, I will give you one piece of advice. If you intend to continue to post in a similar vein then just make sure you keep your identity anonymous. I know of at least one guy who was rather loud and abrasive on here who after his identity was cracked, found it quite hard to move up the ranks, as you would be very surprised who the owners of some of these Cyber Identities really are.
For example, from a brief perusal of your posts, I know, you are 23 or thereabouts, trained in Christchurch and got your CPL/MECIR in September/October of 2004. You then worked in a non aviation field to pay off some of the flying debt. You stated it would take about 6 months.
Before your current activity on here, you hadn't posted since 2006, and judging by the questions you are asking ie CSU/Slow flight etc, I would suggest that the 6 month hiatus you were anticipating actually took a fair bit longer.
Now aviation being as small as it is, I'm sure with just a few more pieces of the puzzle, someone would recognise who you are...
Not having a go or trying to be a b@st@rd or threatening in any way, just illustrating a point.
