Yeah I know, poorly worded hope on my part. You worded it better, good point out.
I just hate it. We’ve already gotten the standard “the engines were sputtering” crap from “witnesses.” I can only imagine what astute observations will follow the video.
This whole thing just bothers me, I guess. I feel terrible about it for their families.

Only exception would be if the info were actually classified before becoming relevant to the investigation.

I think it was just a day or two after the Lion Air MAX accident that we were seeing dozens of pictures of debris being pulled from the ocean.
I have a lot of respect for the first responders for holding back and not feeding the media.

I just wanted to say there was a similar GoFundMe campaign in place for the family of the Kalitta Charters pilot we lost last year, and word from some of those close to him was that the money went where it was intended. Skepticism is certainly healthy in this day and age, but a visible, sponsored fundraising effort there should be a helpful venue for those so inclined.

Thoughts and prayers for the families and friends of the three fellow aviators who Flew West way too soon. Also, to our Atlas, Mesa (and United) brothers and sisters from all of us here at Big Brown. Heartbreaking news for sure..

We all know how tightly knit this industry is. When something tragic happens, yes, we all try and put a little more space for ourselves, hoping that we didn’t know anyone involved. The sting/hurt/anguish is much more if you did know someone. I was fortunate that my friends ar Atlas were not involved.
In a recurrent ground school, two discussion areas that day were OH5191 (my previous airline) and UPS7 (FO was a friend from flight school). I had to step out of class for a little bit.
Selfish? Not at all. It is simply human nature.
My heartfelt condolences to the Atlas family, and all affected by this tragedy. Godspeed.
