This is the topic! nice googling FB
and to think that I was in Denver just a couple of weeks ago, I am very lucky to have escaped uninjured! or at least that would be the media's view...
except I was not actually in Denver at the same time as this happened, or in that neighbourhood, etc...still I was very lucky to survive! phew, those cars are just plummeting into houses in a world wide pandemic (had to get that in) of house smashing vehicular mayhem.
I notice one on the vehicles was actually airborne in one of the reports, I also bet that the driver 'had not lodged a flight plan' as well.
HAHAHAHA

ps - was more disappointed to read about the DIA conspiracy theory the day after i got back! I wish I had known before, as I had a 3 hour layover there and would have loved to see those murals, instead of cat napping. - How's that for thread drift EEJIT??

Whilst it is amusing to compare the medias' reaction to aviation vs road accidents it is also important to not just look at this string of accidents as "oh well things happen occasionally, just like on the road". The road accidents all had causes probably based on lack of driver knowlege, speed, alcohol, drugs, conditions, poor vehicle maintenance etc....
In aviation the only reason we have such a low rate of accidents is that we treat all accidents seriously and as a learning experience for others. Aviation is unforgiving and if we treated aircraft like cars, trucks and buses the rate of crashes would be extreme.
I prefer the media scrutiny as the day they stop sensationalising everything is the day the authorities will start relaxing laws and the dodgy operators will realy start to take flight.
If one does not want scrutiny of their operations then ensure that the incidents/accidents do not occur.
Luck only plays a part in a very few accidents the rest are usually just poor culture and systems.
