OK, so some of you jumped all over me yesterday after the horrible plane crash

21. OK, one more time with feeling...

The pilots ejected and the plane hit an apartment building. I would hazard a guess that if it were YOUR apartment building, or that in which your family member lived, you'd be a mite perturbed about this incident, and would want to hear the facts about the case in toto. I for one, would be concerned that those facts might or might not ever make it to the Public-at-large, but Hey, it's the military and shit happens when you deal with weapons of war. As I stated before, the Willow Grove, PA runways were not all that far from my home when I was very young and we lived with the possibilities that things might happen, and we hoped that they didn't for all concerned.

My point, and I'll say it again, was that rather than awaiting an investigation, in the immediate aftermath of this fairly horrific incident, it didn't take long for the story to be rewritten so as to exonerate, at least partially, the people who caused it directly. Somehow, there's going to be a mix of military heroism, Blessedness of God that people weren't killed, A FACT WHICH WAS UNKNOWN AT THE TIME in which Ms. Phillips was waxing poetic about the skill of the pilots, and then a general quietude for a number of months, and then the Official Report.
