"Kevin Clarke" wrote in message ... 2 reports on the evening news today (Boston area) on small plane crashes. A C172M crashed at Mansfield, Ma. 4 people on board, 2 fatalities. This was on Saturday, a day that produced record high temperatures for the area. Density altitude/overloading problem? Were those density altitudes higher than they were in July? |

But it is irrelevant. That plane, with that low time pilot, with that MGTW, on that day was not there in July. KC |

I'm pretty sure we had some hotter days this summer than the 95 or so on the 8th. In any case, Mansfield is only 122' msl. -- Bob Noel (goodness, please trim replies!!!) |

How much, exactly, did each of the 30-something males weigh? How much fuel was aboard the plane? I think it is best to reserve judgement until all the facts are available. Yup. Good advice. Don't even think about what can go wrong. Wait until everyone forgets about it and someday just read through the NTSB final reports. |

Or better still, give up flying entirely. Somebody died yesterday doing so. Personally, I'll continue wondering why things happen, and hopefully not repeat those mistakes myself. You can stick your head in the sand if you want. |

Wondering why things happen does nothing to prevent you from repeating a mistake made by someone else. Reserving judgement until actual FACTS can be analyzed is a far cry from sticking one's head in the sand. In fact, your method of assuming you know anything about an accident because you read a post on the internet that refers to a news story on television is much closer to sticking your head in the sand than waiting for geniune information. You might as well source Wikipedia. I hear too many "old pilots' tales" that were started because some pilot assumed that something he saw another pilot do caused hurt to a plane or a pilot. |
