Buddy Holly crash

A recent fatal crash around here had very similar circumstances to the ones you describe, but the "We told him so!" comments never appeared on TV. The "we told him so" comments never appear in the media, which I know is your point. If they did, there would be little point in even running the story for today's media. On the other hand, some pilots are just as guilty of glorifying and defending accident pilots, which is particularly inexcusable. Every time I hear of an accident reported in the media, I know I'll hear two things: "He was an excellent pilot," and "the engine was cutting in and out," as if the only thing that could possibly make an airplane come down is an engine failure.
