Once again, another immature, poorly thought out posting about what happened. If you can't wait to pee your pants without posting that the pilots are OKAY (per CNN!), DON'T POST! Please, some MOD fix this post. |

Since a Super Hornet does not meet the WIX definition of a "warbird" (military aircraft that have survived military service), shouldn't this thread be moved to the "Military Matters" area? * ducks and runs for cover *  Seriously, though, I'm glad the crew survived and am hoping there were no casualties on the ground. |

I see that but I dont understand why so many users are upset about this thread. Paul leaves the WIX over something that was said and accusations of an imature posting about what happened. I'm lost. |

I have a problem, and I don't think I'm alone on this, with people indiscriminately posting "AIRCRAFT DEATH PORNN." This is what I mean. While it is nice to get the news about all things warbird like this here on WIX, when it comes to aircraft accidents being posted here, there seems to be a Chinese Fire Drill about being the first to post what is going on without vetting, verifying, or otherwise qualifying the information before posting. There is also no standard for posting this information and I strongly think that needs to be changed. Having personally been on the death notification team a time or two, I have strong opinions about this. And I don't care how many times you open your mouth to defend your 1st Amendment rights or whatever their called outside of the US, there needs to be some decorum and perhaps an SOP (that's Standing Operating Procedure) about how it gets posted here on this board. Primarily, before you run to the WIX and yell "AIRCRAFT DOWN," you should check your facts, verify the sources, and perhaps inquire about the important things like survivors. After that, post. But be discrete, a little sensitive, and perhaps hold back if you aren't sure. Why?- [u]Because you might be telling somebody the news that their best friend died or was seriously injured. [/u] I happened to be watching CNN, and nothing was posted on WIX yet. My first thought, which I think most people have, was to tell people here on WIX. But I held off to get more information. This is the second time in a few days that this was done this way- rush to get the information posted here without checking facts, then let it sort itself out. Sorry, I think as adults we can do better than that. I'm not running away because my feelings are hurt. But I'd rather see another, specific board separate from the WIX hangar to post accident/incident information. Along with that, but at a minimum, I'd like to see an SOP. And Paul K., BTW, I don't buy your story. You have too much web experience/expertise to have something like that happen to you. |
