REFLECTOR: Velocity crash

[NMFlyer1 at aol.com]

Bud, 
 
I agree with your statements. The well known Media frenzy that occurs  when a 
plane crashes creates all sorts of uneducated demands and promises.   You 
don't see this kind of frenzy when a blue truck goes out of control and  kills 2 
other people (the mayor should demand that all blue trucks be banned  from the 
city!). 
 
If Las Vegas wants to limit operations at the airports, then they have to  
give back all the money that they received for their airports. Simple, but they  
won't want to do that. They would also have to give up all future grants for 
LAS  (a mainstay for the Las Vegas area). Of course they don't want that 
either. They  just fan the media flames of an unfortunate accident even before any 
useable  information is gathered. 
 
Yes, we need to be as safe as we can. If we banned all flying machines from  
the sky forever, we probably wouldn't have any more accidents, but that is  
hardly a realistic approach. I would guarantee (with out even looking it up)  
that more people died in Las Vegas this month/year/etc. from auto accidents than 
 aviation accidents. I believe a little education, rational thought, and less 
 public bravado from the uneducated is in order. 
 
Lets see what really caused this accident and use that information for all  
our benefit. It is the least logical thing we can do for those that gave their  
lives in this unfortunate accident. 
 
Kurt
