Crash at Shoreham Air show

[Butter Face]

Just read on the BBC site that another person (and the last they say) has been named

Also this piece made me shudder a bit. 'First causes of death were given as burns and smoke inhalation, fragmentation of body due to blunt-force trauma and head injury'

Fragmentation of the body due to blunt force trauma, just sounds so brutal

At the risk of being hounded by the 'think of the children' mob having a fighter jet crash into you is something that is always going to be rather brutal. The list given icovers most of the bases I would expect to see from such a death - bluntly i doubt that there would be any chance of working out which of those headings caused the fatal injuries, although all of them would do the trick alone.

Worth noting (as I discovered last night) there is no westbound access to the A27 from the Shoreham flyover. You have to go east and spin round at the Holmbush roundabout and seeing the queues I decided to drop along past the hospital, back up to the flyover and then head up to Washington and back down the A24. Not convinced it took any longer and I'd rather go the longer way round but keep rolling.

Noted - thanks.

Useful info for me as it happens.

Cheers.

All eleven victims were male, and no children involved. It could have been worse, apparently a bus was close to the scene.

Poor buggers stood no chance did they?

Small world on PH.

I left Ashington in about 2003. Never missed the place, although I've heard it's got a lot bigger.

Why would female victims have been more regrettable than male ones?

Where did he say that? Oh, that's right. He didn't.

Show some fking respect.

It's grown and is quite a village now

Personally I'm not fond of it and I live a couple of miles away from it in the sticks but use the name as a location etc.

Two separate sentences. "It could have been worse, apparently a bus was close to the scene." is a seperate statement unrelated to the first.

Don't edit my posts to suit your purpose. The quote tool is used to quote someone, not manipulate what they said to suit your purpose.

I said nothing of the sort, you misinterpreted what I said. Perhaps I could have put a line return in between those sentences, but I still did not say what you allege I said.

Now, seriously, move on.

That's very poor form indeed. Would have been easier to simply say, sorry I misread your post and moved on.

Whilst that's definitely true, the question does arise as to what possible relevance the gender of the victims had to the price of fish.

Maybe better to say they were all adults, although four, maybe five (the BBC doesn't say), were all under 30 so sadly lives cut very short.

Well for one I suppose it's unusual that out of 11 random fatalities on a road in southern England on a sunny Saturday lunchtime all are male. No relevance to anything, but nonetheless an unusual statistical situation.

As to no children, well that perhaps does have more relevance as there's no doubt people would have felt worse had children been involved (directly killed of course - I am aware that children are very much impacted by this tragedy).

You can't grade tragedies really.

This was just an awful thing and anyone who's been through a fatal accident involving friends or family, know only too well that it changes lives forever.

[longshot]

I think we may have reached the bottom of the argument barrel.

[Magog]

Am I right in thinking that the initial AAIB report is imminent.

It is worse
Dont forget someone was killed in a head on smash while the diversion was in operation
