well, I for 1 completely understand the initial remarks made by Moggy……………
to condemn a guy for commenting on what he thought was just a bad day at work, thats not fair.

I’ll put my own reaction to his remarks in context too if I may. The post I found objectionable included a link to the news story which already included such detail as:

“Two people were seriously injured and seven more treated at the scene …..
Kent Ambulance Service said the pilot suffered severe head injuries and one male skydiver had chest injuries…….
One female passenger was later transferred to hospital after suffering a severe asthma attack.”

It was clear at the outset this was not just a “bad day at the office”.
I too have been close to fatal accidents and have lost pilot a friend in such circumstances.

Given the reports already available at the time about the potential severity, I don’t think the cavalier wording and insensitivity of the original post was excusable. Some forethought for the relatives of those involved at such uncertain times is just good pastoral care and simple manners.

I think you’re trying to defend the indefensible. I fully accept Moggy wasn’t trying to deliberately offend anyone (I never believed he was) and he’s corrected the matter already – which is the honourable thing. If you don’t think my earlier criticism was fair then that’s your privilege.
