      Time for you to stop paying attention to the news then.
      Unfortunately the overall death rate is still 100%. And we live in the "information age"...

  2. Sad...

    To see such silly comments. Four military memebers who serve this country to rescue lives and protect it are MIA but we are complaining and posting stilly stuff instead of coming together for these families who are more than likely sitting by the phone waiting to hear if a loved one is dead. How about some prayers (or good wishes and thoughts if you aren't religious/spiritual) in support of those families and friends waiting to hear what is happening? Or to their fellow shipmates still waiting to find out if they have lost someone they served with?

    We have been so desensitized with all of the TV blow them up flix's and all the nasty stuff on the news that we fail to realize that these people were Fathers, Son's, brothers, husbands, Sisters and fellow shipmates of all active duty and retired costies. The CG Aviation community is so small, my heart goes to all affected…SP
