Flyingwithoutfear.com and its associated websites has always maintained the principle of factually correct and unambiguous information to help fearful flyers. We strive to use language and descriptions that is consistent with those values and also explains aspects of aviation in a way that helps fearful flyers to overcome their fears.
The descriptions and eye witness accounts of the crash of the 1960′s fighter jet at a flying display are the opposite of what we try to do. It is inevitable that witnesses to an accident of any type are likely to be in a state of shock and their recall of events is going to be influenced by ignorance, emotion and the the views of other witnesses.
There was an experiment many years ago where air accident investigators were taken on a boat trip and by chance during their excursion witnessed the ‘antics’ of an aeroplane which flew near them. Some of those on board were subsequently told that the plane had crashed while others were just told that it had landed safely. Despite the fact that they were all qualified air accident investigators their reports were wildly different.
