Just saw this a few minutes ago when JEMS (Journal of Emergency Medical Services) posted it on facebook.

I really can't believe the pilot did that. As a pilot its our job to make sure you dont hurt anyone on the ground - You accepted the risk the moment you stepped in that airplane, but everyone you are flying over did not. It's inexcusable - just like miramar.

I think it would be wise to know more details before making statements like that. Just sayin'

Unless the plane was absolutely uncontrollable it is inexcusable. I feel pretty strongly about stuff like this.

Good for you, I do too.. Fact is nobody knows all the details at this point, but it sounds like they ejected at a very very low altitude. Faced with no other options, what would you do? Eject or die? Just saying lets wait to hear what happened before blaming the pilots for crashing their plane in a less than ideal place. Accidents happen.

If I had options that could save myself, but put others at risk, or an option that would minimize risk to others but most likely mean the end of me, I would choose the latter.

And I'm sure they had the same philosophy, as do 99.99% of all pilots. These are trained military officers, not a couple of ultra melons goofing off on a Sunday afternoon.

When the cockpit of the 210 started filling up with smoke my first thought was to make sure if I went down I wouldnt hurt anyone on the ground.

But keep on talking, princess.

I'm done, if it turns out they didnt have any control - I resend my remarks. If they did, you all know how I feel.

Please regale us with more tales of your epic bravado!  Every time a plane goes down you're in here while the wreckage is still smoldering telling everyone what idiots the pilots were, and how much more 13373r you would have been than them.  Hell we should just fire the NTSB and save the millions the government spends on crash investigations since we have super squeaker right here that is apparently omnipotent when it comes to aircraft wrecks.

How many hours do you have? Have you ever landed a plane, have you ever declared an emergency?

piss off cheryl

Also PLEASE tell find me another thread where I said the pilots were idiots. It happens very rarely. In fact, besides this one I think I have only other done it once.

great job to the pilot


anyways, I'm not going to do any more searching. You can do your own research.
