hey guys, i'm a korean and i read above comments about the incident. as you might think many of korean people are blaming on U.S. pilot who was drove over housing area. BUT there are much more people who don't care whether the pilot is an american or not as it is an accident.

I feel pity on him and his family not because he is a korean but because he lost his family.

I think this says it all. His feelings are what the Netizens of Korea should listen to and respect. http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/12/09/military.jet.cra... I think his community will surround him and support him.

This situation is very tragic but does happen as long as you have military aircraft flying over housing areas. The same could happen to a commercial liner flying over Hong Kong or Seoul simply pancaking on houses in the flight path. This is a reality…

BUT most military pilots will do just about anything in their power to steer their aircraft away from a housing area or attempt to minimize the damage to the civiliam populace if they know that their only option is to punch out. I've read countless stories of how pilots tried to avoid civilian casualities — sometimes at the cost of their own lives.

My questions are not about the Korean deaths, but about the circumstances of the aircraft and why the pilot had to eject where he did. Why was he above the housing area? Could he have glided away from there? Did he make the right decision? Should the flight path (if it is on final to the base) be modified? If in the El Toro area, there is a lot of open space and why was he over a housing area? A hundred and one questions to prevent a future occurence — not to chastize the military or pilot.

#4 seems to have just learned the language of a six-pack, but he is right on the mark.

Oh yea, I speak his language occasionally.:cool:

Who cares about Korean netizens. They driver theier singers and actresses to suicide. If they want to usa an accident as an excuse, we can bring up Cho Seung Hui

and the Virginia Tech attach to boycott korean goods.
