Are you seriously suggesting that there are different acceptable perspectives on the first point?

I think it's important to hold on to such things, that's how we get further and get agreement, to try to agree on fundamental principles. No reason to upset that balance by suggesting that a plane crash is ever preferable.

What do you prefer, a plane crash or a nuclear war? But that does not matter, I did not say a airplane crashing is preferable over something, I said it is not a bad event for everyone. It is bad for the people on board and their friends and families but there are also people that benefit from a crash. That still does not mean that people benefiting from the event are in favor of more airplanes crashing. And for the majority of people it will essentially be neutral, half the planet might never even hear about this particular crash and for many more it will be a thirty second news segment they once saw.
