people die at the TT , and many are either bystanders , or simply live on the island . in 2014 1754 people died on our raods.
and its been 62 years since an airshow disaster.
the AAIB will find the cause of the accident.

this is an utterly retarded response though.
"driving has risk, you accept this risk ergo you accept all other risk"
Driving kills more people than knives in the uk, so lets let everyone carry machetes.
Driving kills more people than shotguns, so lets have open carry.
driving kills more people than mountaineering accidents so lets let random unvetted people take kids up cliffs with any old gear, after all its safer than the minibus ride up there.
just because people die while driving doesn't have any affect on anything else.
the people dead are not dead because they were driving they are dead because people like to see planes do dangerous things over thier heads.
Wasn't there one at the same air show in 2007? Or is disaster the keyword here?
its people killed that arnt the actors involved - yes the hurricane pilot died in 2007 , but it was him alone and after executing an unplanned roll.
since then the entire display sequence has to be logged , legally , before hand

very few military aircraft have a black box , as its a requirement for civil aircraft.
I just wondered if they retro fitted them in case of incidents like this?

If anyone needs to get to shoreham airport to pick up their vehicle, we would be more than happy to help.
Simon, will be available from 6.30 until 10pm.
We will not charge you either.

That is a nice gesture by them.
If there is anything it will be a lot less sophisticated than the black boxes on airliners that record almost everything there is to record - probably not much more than altitude, pitch, etc.
He is too low.
100s of aircraft pass over our head every days, who's to say one of those won't suffer a mechanical and drop on our head. I don't see people calling to stop commercial flight.
I'd wager most commercial flights are maintained to a lesser standard to a display jet capable of such maneuvers, and I wonder how many have ex RAF pilots at the helm.
Isn't it only for larger civil planes though?

Don't think you could really say "lesser" in context of the more respectable airlines - there will be a different level/type of maintenance for each but neither are any less rigorous.
Obviously is still a high standard. But an aircraft that flys less hours (thus receives more engineer attention) yet potentially higher strain (thus checked more thoroughly) in my mind would be of a better standard of maintenance.
Its a bit hard to explain (especially as my knowledge is limited to what I've heard from my brother in law who is an engineer) but you can't really put it in terms of better/worse standard - none the least the big airliners have an ongoing maintenance network that is quite different to a hawker hunter. i.e. the manufacturer alone will be taking the smallest of parameters that crops up in 3rd party checks and running them through 100s of hours of simulations, etc.
A common misconception. The risk statistics for traveling on a 787 and an ancient plane performing stunts are completely different.
It's a requirement in the military as well since hadden cave.
This wasn't a military jet though, it was a civilian craft so will have to apply to CAA regulations.
