Airplane crashes on the I78

I read a story today about a pilot that crashed his plane while testing an engine. The better part of the story is the comments after the story. I haven't so much anger and bitterness, since there were rumors that our deployment was extended. I'm sure after that pilot and the powers that be put there heads together they might come up with a lessons learned, like maybe stay within a certain area of the airfield.
Some of the people like myview betrays the fact (he/she) doesn't know anything about San Diego Freeways because (he/she)claimed that if the pilot had his wife with him he would of have landed his plane in the HOV lane. News report people there isn't an HOV lane on the 78.
Mr. Accountability figures that the pilot is stupid to want to fly again. This is the pilot's first crash in 40 yrs of flying, I've crashed my car once in the 22 yrs I've been driving but it never entered my mind that maybe I should stop driving. That would be a defeatist idea, and anyone making a comment like that I hope is working the drive thru at Burger King. Otherwise I may have to work for (him/her).
Mr. Jason Believes how irresponsible of the man to want to test fly an engine. I don't really think want has anything to do with it. The plane wasn't even his that means his job is to pilot it, he was just the main pilot.
The gist of this is to do ones homework before jotting down the first thing that comes to ones mind. This is a democratic society yes, and freedom of speech grease that keeps is going, but just because one has something to say doesn't mean it needs to be heard. If you don't have the nuts to make your self known, if you are only comfortable hiding behind an assumed name than why are you talking.
Many would find it rediculous that a person who calls himself squidb8 would say such a thing but my profile is available for all to peruse at their leisure.
