Creamo,
I understand your reaction but let me explain what I feel:
I'm a real life pilot, I'm a flight instruvtor, I fly several hours a day. Everytime I see a picture of a crash or that I'm at a real crash it's good for me.
First I laught (don't ask me why, probably a psy thing about denial), then the picture gets printed in my head.
When I'm in flight, those picture come back in my head and they make me a better pilot. Did I checked my fuel? What's the oil pressure reading?
I just scaned the area 2 minutes ago, I'm alone in the sky, I don't want to twist my neck again... <pop pictures of pieces of meat pack on a truck bed after a crash in the Grand Canyon> ... hum... better check again, you never know.
Those pictures serve me well, they definitly remind you that you have no second chance and that you better do it right the first time. Flying is fun but not a game, people who die before you are not stupid people or bad pilots, this can happen to you too. Being reminded that is a good thing for me.
