Polish Air Show Mid-air

Hey, I saw his spleen.

Whoa!

 

Grossly inappropriate comment on 2 people dying frame by frame tragically. Immature *********, and Yin should ban you for it.

 

My comment went to the clarity of the images.

As for "inappropriate:" whatever, your opinion matters naught.

 

trying to understand what happened, but from what i can figure did two planes crash perpendicular into each other?

 

Yes. The number two plane took it in the side and the number 3 plane was lucky to keep in the air without collecting serious debris.

 

OK. Can I watch clear photos of your family get nuked and comment about their spleen? Fact-you are inappropriate in face of a tragedy. Opinion-you're an idiot.

 

agreed, that was &*$#&*(ed up saying that. You could have stated that it was a very clear video much more tastefully +1 on the ban

 

+1000

It is amazing how people don't have even slight bit of decency these days. This guy is a lawyer...figures..

 

I am sorry but is in it not MORE indecent to post the pictures up in the first place? Who in there right mind would post that, better yet post it raving about the quality of the footage!!! and not expect that kind of comment?

Which of any of you are aeronautical engineers that could learn something from a sec by sec view of a crash? Or all you all just gawkers at these snuff pictures like I am?

 

While I do agree it does draw our attention (it happens anywhere from when you see and accident on the side of the road etc. I dont know many people who would see a crash on the side of the road and say "Hey i see his spleen!" most of us would say "oh god I hope everyone is ok" or "that is horrible" but to take humor out of this rather horrible incident is very indecent. The quality of the video i think was just a comment not a "rave" it was "this is horrible and it was odd that its high res on youtube" that is it. I agree that you could say "there was a crash at a air show and here is the link" but still the indecency of the spleen comment by far outweighs it in indecency. I have been part of F-chat for a while and that comment stirred my blood and im usually very neutral in things.

 

Banned Mr. V for 7 days.

Reason to show user: YOUR opinion matters naught for a week. Telling a Doctor's DOCTOR that? Get a clue, gain some empathy and show a little sympathy.

 

Just got done sending these pictures to my friend that is an aeronautical engineer and an accident investigator for the NTSB. She might have already seen them but I wanted to get her input on them. As a pilot I find it some what interesting and educational (the accident not the deaths) if nothing else to learn from their mistakes. Not that I would be attempting the aerobatics they were doing.

 

And that, I DO agree with.

 

The sight of something like this is sad and horrifying (I've witnessed similar incidents live) but it is reality and I'm glad it wasn't censored.

The spleen comment was inappropriate and shouldn't have been put in writing.

 

What is that supposed to mean?

 

I believe it was a comment directed at the crass personalities seen in some attorneys. It really doesn't matter to me, any profession can have its' share of insensitive louts. This instance happened to be an attorney.
Group aerobatics are amazing, but most observers don't realize the minimal margins available. Sad end for a couple skilled pilots.

 

...a little full-of-ourselves aren't we?

 

i am a aeronautical engineer (Design) and i cant think of any reason to look at these pics again.



how sad. RIP.

 

...sad, sure for the families perhaps...horrifying - how? These are stunts - stunts are stunts. Society since the beginning of time has paid and gawked at man attempting to defy death. These individuals did not succeed and in no way does horrifying correctly characterize the event.

These pictures do not depict death they deduce physics.

I fail to see where the posters comment warranted a banning. Police officers deal w/ horrifying scenes and you can bet they joke to keep their sanity - and I ain't a cop. I welcome thoughts inappropriate and appropriate and I'll do my own filtering. Let us not create a sterile envirornment.

my little rant...

 

Very sad for all involved, the pilots, their families, and the spectators at the air show on September 1, 2007.

In searching the web, it is believed the two pilots were Lech Marchelewski, 62 years old, with nearly 5000 hours in air and the second pilot was Piotr Banachowicz, 24 years old, with about 500 hours. It was supposed to be the last flight of the stunt group leader Lech Marchelewski.

They were doing a vertical loop involving 3 airplanes. The 3 planes went straight up together in formation, then each airplane split off in a backward loop in 3 different directions. The 3 planes crossed at the bottom of the loop at high speed and 2 of the 3 planes collided. Here is a link to a spectator's video of the air show accident as seen from the ground (not as gruesome as the still pictures, but obviously showing the two planes colliding at the bottom of the loop). http://wideo.gazeta.pl/wideo/0,0,4453984.html

A real tragedy. RIP.

 

Watching people die, individually or en masse, is horrifying. Inability to help is horrifying, merely standing there/watching here.

Stunts v accidents. Big difference. This could happen when you cross an intersection tomorrow, your child darts into street. Would it merely be sad then? Just physics of a 3500# car crushing a 10# skull on a 40# child?? Idiotic, insensitive, or narcissistic.

I deal with horrifying things every day. Many do. We DON'T post them on boards, nor say around families, and anymore, other caregivers lest you be "written up". You can think them, rarely. Maintaining one's sanity is best done by doing your job, cleaning up, or preventing these events.

"Filtering" has nothing to do with inappropriate comments. Several members of this forum have died, pictures of their accidents have been posted, and greeted with sadness, horror, and respect. Your post demonstrates none of these. Maybe your filter is clogged.

 

Sfumato,

This is public domain stuff. It's not a private discussion between a doctor and the deceased's family (where, I agree, it's not time for cracking any jokes). However, lots of people use "black" humor. Lighten up.

If your delicate senses are offended, don't look at the pictures. Simple.

And, I'm surprised by V's banning. Are we now so politically correct that we can't joke around? At all? There are thousands of users here. If just one complains, does that mean a ban is in order? File it in the "You can't please all the people all of the time" folder.
