You’re watching too much CNN during the Fox/Dish dispute.....
CNN is not us.
Many comparisons are being drawn between the Air Asia disaster and the 2009 crash of Air France Flight 447, which killed 228 people. The full report on that accident was released in October 2014. It is lengthy but steps you through the events from departure.
We’re addicted to drama. We see it while standing in line at the supermarket, on TV, on youtube.com and in our daily lives. Especially, it sells toothpaste and diapers on the news programs. We’re used to it, so it needs to be ever bigger and better. Air crashes bring a special resonance to our bones not only because they recall all the air crash movies we’ve seen, but we’ve all been on planes and wondered about being in that tiny, crushing space while drama happens to us. (Do what I’ve done. Throw away the TV. Don’t read the dinosaur print press.)
Squirrel!
We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blond who
Comes on at five
She can tell you ‘bout the plane crash with a gleam
In her eye
It’s interesting when people die
Give us dirty laundry

Dangit, you beat me to it.
This is a topic of large concern for the elites - not just politicians but the reporter-ettes, etc. The class of people who rules over us by making money off our vices.
They fly a lot.
Because of the law of gravity.
Can’t recall any time recently when we had so many experts on how we all should behave.
I was fascinated by a house fire in my neighborhood as a kid of about 10 years of age. I went back over and over, and walk thru the place.
Airplanes are a menace. We can be walking along, minding our own business, and boom, a plane crashes on top of us. It’s worse than having to dodge those nasty meteorites.
First, the majority of reporters (or journalists) know absolutely nothing about aeronautics and they believe that, when they think at all, the airplane flies because of some magical, invisible force. If a plane crashes, then the plane’s magical force broke and it fell down.
Secondly, since most reporters (or journalists) are ignorant about aviation, they revert to their fallback position of writing or broadcasting the news called: “if it bleeds, it leads”.
Because they happen and some people are uncomfortable with that.
