In article 9roFf.21674$sA3.6431@fed1read02, says...

Sounds like what we read in Southern California every time someone
prangs into the mountains around here during a winter storm. "Oh, he
was such a good pilot!" (translated, "Now, if only that nasty mountain
hadn't gotten in his way!")

The other half of the old saw is:
"He's a real hero, because he sacrificed himself to avoid peoples homes and
populated areas. . ." As if the natural or "selfish" thing for a pilot out
of airspace and out of options to do would be to slam it into someone's
house!
