Re: plane crash

Sorry.  I failed to edit your message.

The bit about airlines censoring your access to information.   It used to be
that making a joke about bombing an airport and being overheard would ground
your plane and get you a prison sentence.  Warnings to that effect were posted
in the airports.  Then things got lax.  Now they're tight again.

We do not have freedom of information.  That simple.

And in your particular case for fairly good reason.  If the plane going down was
terrorist then announcing it in the airports could trigger another phase.  At
the very least it could create panic in the airports.  (and loss of airline
ticket sales)

None of which is con language.  Unless of course you feel the act of censorship
constituted a meme in a language of sorts.
