Nice attitude, you'd enjoy it more if lots of people were killed then?

here we go....................

why dont you read the whole thread instead of jumping on the bandwagon

Karl 227

It's true though Sara, you should have worded it differently if that's not what you meant, surely you can see that?

It's amazing how you have turned this into a vitriolic and personal attack on me, sara. I haven't misquoted anything you've written, the only bit I didn't yet quote is "watching people die is boring" Could you explain that further please?

Please don't try and dictate to me which posts on SN I can read and comment on

Perhaps we need a similar program to investigate in minute detail why thread go into a tailspin !

I don't think the comments were particularly insensitive, more being realistic about human nature and the possibility that any one of us who fly could meet the same fate, not disrespect for those have dies this way.

I do find it fascinating, like I find all aspects of aviation and it isnt a macarbe thing, I don't want to see death and destruction, last nights about fligh 009 was very positive in that it illustrates that things do turn out for the best, ditto the Air France one where everyone got out alive.

Many people are personally touched by air disasters, my dad lost his colleague at work when I was a boy to the Dan Air Tenerife mountain crash, my wife's schoolfriend lost both her parents in a crash, the closest experience I have had was doing a paper round on the morning of 22 August 1985 wondering what the massive stinking plume of smoke was over Manchester airport and Heald Green, it was a 737 burning on the runway, along with some of my future in laws friends.

I think that these programs are a postive thing, we may think that the everyone in the airline industry has everything covered but I suspect some (and passengers) learn things from these programs, a fantastic and accessible source of hindsight, maybe a baggage handler will spot the bit of tape left over from painting, maybe I would be able to explain to the other passengers the problems caused by inadequate maintenance of the MD80's tail jackscrew as it plummets to earth.

And yes bin Eastenders and put on something more cheerful, like an hour about a major air accident, ten times more cheerful.

I've read the whole thread Sara, and you still come across sick and twisted.

Iwan

I read it yesterday, and thought it was a pretty heartless and insensitiive comment at the time. I didn't reply sooner as I find it's usually best to ignore your retarded comments and let somebody else rip into you about them instead.

Actually, I was quite tempted to RTM you over this one.

i know what i meant, others knew what i meant and i have explained what i meant.................am i meant to get the webmaster to make a 'sticky' so i can explain it?

its a tv programme

would many people watch the series if all you saw was a plane taking off watched hours of cabin chat then the excitement of a faultless landing, i think not.

i could have worded it different, i could have not even posted or i could have added better punctuation but i didnt

So how many of you were genuinely watching it in the interests of aviation safety rather than as "car crash" television?

TV is always more exciting when people die.

Karl 227

I think the producers of Airline might disagree

thats a programme based on other peoples misfortunes and unhappiness. if everything went smooth as clockwork you wouldn't watch it

hey that was why I watched "Ski Sunday", not for the faultless skiing but the small possibility that someone may fall

Richard Hammonds terrifying car crash..............nearly everyone on here wanted to see it. how many of you were trying to get footage of Steve Irwins stingray attack?

i rest my case

Karl 227

After I had learned that he was okay, I will admit that I was interested to see it


Most certainly not me.

There's a huge difference between those two examples that I think you fail to see.

DCI Gene Hunt

Nothing wrong in what you've said SS.... The whatever duke of whatever the third is just being a **** for ***** sake


You can PM me some more topless shots if it will cheer you up!

Shark Man

Yes, one was a stingray sting and the other was a car crash

HTH

DCI Gene Hunt

Just to help clarify things

Karl 227

Oh well, the fact that Ali's arrived means I'll bugger off, clearly the difference between a fatality and a crash in which someone survives is of little interest, nice

i credit you with a lot of sense i do

Shark Man

If it makes good TV, the producers of ACI see little interest in the difference

To be honest, with me it isnt the death and destruction, I get all excited watching that Massive engines thing or Flying heavy metal with Bruce Dickinson and nobody dies, in fact in last night ACI less people died (0) than the average Soap Opera.
