But I have talked to numerous aircraft that have crashed over the years.

Did the aircraft talk back?


I know. Such a statement seems to depersonalize the occupants of the
aircraft. That is my whole point: ATC personnels' emotional regard
for the soles on board consists of treating them as a phosphor target
on a CRT. Such regard is considerably more personal for the SOB, and
I would feel better if ATC had a personal interest in the flights they
handle as well.
