GOOD! - we can hope that's a strong voice to counter the inevitable cries to
"do something" - like closing the NYC VFR corridors permanently.

You can't really blame the press for being all over it. They are always
desperate for something to report, and the crash really did produce more smoke
and fire than many of us might have imagined.

I'm hoping the Sports Star status of the victim will help to "de-villainize"
the whole thing in the general public's mind, and divert some attention away
from the "dangerous GA" theme.
