Sadly, the media won't pick up on the following paragraph taken from the
above web page:

The accident marks the first fatalities among the approximately 1,200,000
Young Eagles whom EAA members have flown since EAA launched the
program in
1992.

This to me shows an incredible safety record of general aviation.

Yes, but unfortunately, as you say, the media won't mention that and the
public will still view Young Eagles as a dangerous program now.

Forget the public, my school system won't even let me MENTION the YE
program. I had arranged YE flights for 56 students in our high school
aerospace program when the teacher of that program was informed that he
was NOT going to take those kids flying and if he did and if anything
happened they would hang him out to dry, personally!
