Although not for discussing the Oskosh accident, if I may use that as an example; having read the account of the accident, and then seen the picture, inevitably questions came to mind, as the image from the text didn’t tally (in my own mind) with the actual image.
I refrained from asking the questions, not out of respect (although that should not be seen as evidence that I have none) , but because the general feeling (set by a moderator) was one of a veil of silence; these were people that lived and breathed aeroplanes, and had the boot been on the other foot, would probably have been asking similar questions themselves, (its what we do (some of us) to come to terms with events such a these).
Had there been a major fault with one or both of the the planes, people (all around the world) would be anxious that their A/C were not affected, and keeping a lid on it until the air accident people have made their findings public, in maybe a years time, isn’t the way to achieve this.
What I am not advocating is idle speculation, or half baked theorys, merely trying to reach an understanding, my view is that if this can’t be accomplished, without upsetting people, then if the event has to be reported on the forum ,that the thread is locked immediately, without further comment.
