I'm always tempted to ask why people post what I'll call "crash notifications". If you look at the NTSB database, there are probably 10 crashes every day. Unless there is something that is both known and unique about a particular crash (even better that there would be a lesson in the story), the "Airplane Crashed" story, with no additional information is barely more newsworthy than "Sun Rose Again Today"....

Maybe a lot of people don't look at the NTSB database everyday and
if they saw a crash in their home state, if might catch grab their attention. I personally would be interested if I saw a thread, "Plane down in MA". Just my two cents worth.
