Planes crash all the time, every day, it's really not news. It's a risk, but it's an accepted risk we take everytime we step into an airplane. Titles like "ANOTHER SMALL PLANE CRASH" perpetuate fear mongering and are part of the problem. The people who want to close airports and make GA inaccessible because of "danger" get hard-ons for stuff like this.

I'm not attacking you personally, just voicing my opinion. It's one of those things that really grinds my gears. I can't tell you how many times I hear "OH MAH GAWD, THOSE THINGS ARE SO DANGEROUS!"

You actually contradicted yourself there.  A valid argument one could make based on what you just wrote is those on the ground accepted knowingly no such risk and shouldn't be subjected to it. I don't disagree with that argument, FWIW, which is why accepting crashes as part of life isn't acceptable for a pilot. Strive for perfection, despite it being unattainable. Chalking mishaps up to "it happens, deal with it" doesn't do anything but light a fire under the NIMBYs.

Oh, light airplanes are dangerous.

Yes, reading it again I realize I did. Light airplanes are dangerous - statistically, someone on Pilots of America did some research and put flying GA in somewhere between riding a motorcycle and driving a car. I don't remember exactly, but it was closer to the motorcycle. 90% of accidents are caused by pilots - the light airplanes themselves are not inherently dangerous, it's the people who fly them.
