It really is pointless to second guess until the report comes out. I saw people jump to all kinds of conclusions in 23+ years in the airforce. Sometimes they guess right, but usually not. There is always a chain of events that leads to an accident, and we learned that if you can interrupt the chain any place along the line, you can prevent the accident. Too bad you find that out after the fact. This jet may have taken a bird in the canopy, pilot g'd out, who knows. You can bet they will find out, and take action to try to prevent a future occurance. I was going to keep quiet on this one, but had to put my 2 cents in. Bob

all speculators must cease and desist now!! easy enough to postulate, come up with all kinds of guesses to boost the ego, so when the real report comes out, u can say , "i told you so."

a very sad event. let the experts work on it and YOU take a chill pill! YOU SIMPLY DO NOT KNOW! maybe he ran out out of gas

Frankly, I don't understand the supposed irreverence/transgression/whatever in speculating/guessing re full scale crashes, including this one. Of course we may know the causes for certain, or at least officially, sometime in the future, but it's pretty natural, even instructive, to guess and discuss immediatly. And especially for us. And, so far, IMO, it hasn't been in bad taste at all, and it's of obvious great interest.

RCer's do this all the time in real time at the field, sometimes video as in the UK B-52 crash....as watching/discussing alone is most often the only data for analysis available to us with models. We watch and 'guess' all the time, crash or not, because it is helpful and useful in preventing ours going down.

So, until it's actually in bad taste/disrespectful (whoever draws that line...), or explained sufficiently so to me, I'd like to hear all I can. I'm a grownup, I can filter BS pretty well....others can always change the channel, as mentioned above.

Speculating in private is one thing - having people publicly posting claims like "it's obvious that it's pilot error" are quite another IMO. As we have already seen here, friends of the lost airman see these posts, and who knows - maybe family do too. I think if it were a close family member of yours, and you saw these arm-chair quarterbacks piling blame on your family member for no good reason, you might revisit your "bad taste" opinion.

does it really matter how he crashed? it's funny to watch posts go from simple observations to endless deep theological psycho analyzing. I for one am a Blue Angles fan and look for input that’s accurate . just ride the wave and don't be so anal retentive. unfortunally it won't be the last one lost .
