Airshows shouldn't exist

Hate SWA all ya'll want, but that kid was the only one SWA has killed in their 44 year history. A claim - and feat - no other legacy airline can make (except Hawaiian).

Then you should be incredibly concerned about the 2% chance of a fatality at any given airshow.



Energy is a necessity. Transportation is a necessity. Watching aerobatics is not a necessity.

And again, you keep ignoring the fact that nobody is arguing for the complete banning of airshows. Just get them away from populated areas. Why is that so difficult for you?

First the 2% comes from seggy math. And only counting multi day air shows (sat/sun) as a single event. Second the link I gave him lists performer deaths not civilians. The only civilian deaths in decades in the US happened at an air race, Reno (not an air show per FAA). I know who you like to correct stats. Speaking of that, earlier you mentioned my basketball game analogy. I used choking and said 4 in 20,000. For all accidental deaths it's actually 8.26 per 20,000. Or 41.3 per 100,000 of the population. So choking would probably only 1-2. But I know. Air shows be dangerous and stuff.

It wasn't intentional. Period. Your friends John Gacy and Ted Bundy had intent to kill and that's exactly what they did. Your whole argument isn't apples to oranges, it's more apples to goodyear tires. That comparison is absolutely absurd. THIS WAS AN ACCIDENT. Serial killers actions to commit murder, IS NOT! Flying a jet into a crowd of people on accident...IS NOT illegal. Killing for enjoyment or the rush of it, sorta illegal.

Jesus, that might just be the dumbest thing I've read this year. Talk about twisted logic......

@Area 5150 you do realize I was using an absurd argument and logic to show Cherokee Cruiser that his argument and logic was just as absurd. Go have some cake, it's all good.
