Default Possible "deliberate" plane crash

As our simulator captain has provided a link to, a plane crashed into
a building just an hour south of my home in Waco, TX.

What I want to say about this is that nobody knows whether or not this
crash was "deliberate" or not and probably won't for a long time. To
say otherwise is simply jumping to conclusions. Yes, it was a
government building, yes, the pilot had some possible mental
disability, but that could just as easily mean that he couldn't
control the plane just as it could mean his crash was deliberate.

Within a few hours the local & national media has already reported
several errors. Media & accuracy in aviation do not mix.

General aviation has weathered much more intense storms than this. I
do not agree that it could be a "disaster for general aviation", and
what would you care, anyway, MX? You don't fly, so any GA disaster
wouldn't affect you in the least.

"Damage control"? Indeed. Why don't you teach us all about that?
