What this accident did is bring GA to the public's attention. The 99.9%
of
the public that does not deal with GA never really thinks about GA until
something like this happens to bring it to their attention. However, once
their attention is focused on the subject then they start to wonder why
"these little planes" can just fly whenever and wherever they want with no
restrictions.


I don't know anybody in the public---the great, mysterious "they" that we're
somehow not part of--who thinks that way.

Now that they are thinking about the subject someone is going to start
wondering what
would happen if the plane had been full of explosives and the target was
some public gathering.

Oh, really? People in New York might freak out about the possibility of
terrorists flying airplanes into things?

Gee. I wonder why.
