Intense new video of the Reno Air Show crash

>> ^Trancecoach:

was probably not holding as much fuel as some planes.>> ^deathcow:
much more flame-free than the cinema would have it



Ya, in those that survive a jumbo just crash, they become over twice as likely to die in the fire than make it out...tragic really. That is why I always have layered cloths on when I fly, doesn't matter how hot. And the likelihood of being knocked out is very high, so I always bring extra pillows and blankets in my carry on. I'm terrified of flying, if it doesn't show.

Irrational fear. You're more likely to win the lottery or die in a road traffic accident. Layer up!

@papple hehehe, trying to use reason to reason with unreasonable fears hasn't panned out for me. I can tell you the exact statistics on the death rates of commercial air flight, but it doesn't clam the panic any less when I hear those engines spool up.

This was at an air race, not an air show. There is a difference. In an air show the planes are not allowed to fly over the crowd. There is an air show scheduled here in October, and people are going ape shit over this because the media keep saying this crash was at an air show. The local news was blowing fear out it's ass the other night, and had a spokesman from the air show organization on who was trying to explain the difference to them.

@direpickle I think they're something like, "death + not otherwise newsworthy = snuff". It's to stop Faces of Death style vids, not news events. If that airplane had just crashed into a mountain with no spectators to see it, it wouldn't be acceptable here, is my understanding.

Thanks, jimnms, that was my first thought/question when I saw this video. Didn't realize air races lacked the same precautions!
