You seem very angry about this being reported.
Maybe the low frequency of plane crashes is what makes them newsworthy. Besides, this is a local report, not a national one. Fatal car crashes (especially those involving multiple deaths) are almost always reported in local news.
I’m not really seeing the problem here.
No, just curious... very curious, actually. Just generally. I live in the New York City area so on average we probably get about 10 or 12 road deaths per day in the tri-state area and I never hear anything about it. Two people die in a plane crash in Austin and its news.
