I completly disagree with the comment that jets are safer.
A jet is like a 200mph throwing knife. At any kind of jet speed , a lot more people could get hurt than 2.
We practice safer safety procedures but a jet deffinatly would do as much if not more damage if something happened.
It's also a good thing our jets have failsafes to shut down the engines.
I had a conversation with my moms boyfriend Mark who just happened to be a CF-18 Tech and was telling me about a crash that happened in cold lake where one of the 404s came out the airframe as it hit and proceded to rocket it self eight ,yes (EIGHT) miles away from the impact site. So its a good thing someone thought of that failsafe device or we all might be ducking 150mph coffee cans that shoot fire.

I also was thinking that it might be a good idea to have head sets between the pilots/spotters and have the system pluged into the anouncers speekers so if a mishab starts to occur the spotter clicks to the open channel to the loud speekers so have the whole country can actually hear the word DEADSTICK or TROUBLE.

My heart goes out to the victims and their family.
I also feel for the pilot as I could not imagine the feelings/ thoughts and pictuers running through his head right now.

Fly SMART Fly SAFE
