Discussion of accidents

While accident discussion is a very important part of aviation safety awareness and learning, it must be handled with care and regarded with respect for those who've suffered loss. There are a few typical scenarios that determine to what extent it is appropriate to discuss accidents; here are the guidelines:

- If the accident/incident is one of our own members, please exercise the respect and discretion you'd like bestowed upon yourself in a difficult situation. Rushing to report that someone has had an accident generally is frowned upon, and forum threads to this effect may be heavily moderated. Digging for information that you're not entitled to is poor form.

- If the news stations/websites are already reporting the accident, the cat's out of the bag and discretion is no longer possible. Discuss freely but do not contribute to misinformation or wild speculation.

- Speculation and heresay do not help, and may cause the FAA to exact unnecessary investigation.

- Condemnation or villification of a pilot, alive or deceased, is extremely frowned upon. The families and loved ones of deceased pilots often turn to this community looking for answers, and they should only see positive and supportive commentary, despite circumstances.

- Accident discussion should be a learning experience but also remain as respectful as possible.

I guess on the plus side, at least one airplane will be parked at Dewey More for longer than it takes to take a selfie...Probably a first for the year.

Take away the planes? They will bitch about the trails.

Without them, who would you bitch about?

The stuff that people should actually be concerned with.
If you would like a example I could start with the field next to my airport that is sprayed with agent orange every year to strip the cotton of its leaves. After decades it has worked it's way into our water supply rendering our drinking water unsafe. I know this first hand as my son was diagnosed with cancer at age 4 and our town of 25k has a massive cancer center complex.That's just one small local example of something actually important.
So I guess a few people landing planes in the middle of nowhere doesn't really strike me as an issue.
