Yes very sad but there were others that were killed including another child. Perhaps these were not so famous but they should not be forgotten.
What I should like to ask though is the fact that when a small air-borne vehicle crashes, why is there more investigation and media coverage attached to it than when a car crashes.
For example there isn't a special car crash investigator sent to the scene, nether is a car assembled back together to discover what made it crash.

anotheroldgit. Just to correct you there. Every traffic department in every constabulary (or RDP, Road Polising Division) have a AIU or CIU which stands for Accident (or crash) Investigation Unit. at every serious or fatal accident they are duty bound to attend 24/7. Further, any fatal road crash is dealt as a potential crime scene until proved otherwise. Mush the same as any sudden death.
And on a further point, if there are huge amounts of insurance revenue to pay out i canb assure you the cars (after Police forensic tests) are meticulously jigsawed back together.
And finally, more and more cars, both domestic and certainly company cars, are having an equivelent of a black box fitted.
So I am afraid with your post, you have been misinformed.

Last year he was driving in the Donegal Rally and he was saying he would do everything he could do to get the world rally to donegal . The world rally will be in donegal in a two months time , its a shame he will not see. His Playstation One game was the first game i got on the PS1. A lovely man ,he will be missed big time
I agree it's very sad but like Payne Stewart(golfer) Aalayiah(sp) singer, they have become victims of their own sucess. All that money and then after the cars comes the aircraft, there are so many famous people flying or learning to fly and whilst for some I'm sure it's a passion, for others it's just because they can. I know the aforementioned did not actually fly their own craft but when you buy yourself a lear jet or a helicopter I think they forget to employ the engineers and people that keep these craft airborne.
Noy knocking them but it's just so common these days.
