Biplane crashes while performing at Travis Air Force Base air show
TRAVIS AFB, Calif. — A biplane that was performing at an air show at Travis Air Force Base Sunday afternoon crashed on the tarmac while executing a maneuver, according to eye witnesses. KTVU reporter John Sasaki was attending the air show and reported the accident shortly after 2 p.m. when the biplane crashed to the tarmac at the air base. KTVU photographer Chris Paxton later learned the blue biplane was flying close to the ground executing a maneuver known as "cutting the ribbon"… (www.ktvu.com) さらに...Why the negative votes people? Is this not an important aviation-related story? Of course, it has been updated now to include the fact that pilot Eddie Andreini was killed during the maneuver. Witness statements say he was attempting an inverted ribbon cut in his Super Stearman.
My sympathies to Mr. Andreini's family, friends, and crews. It is always sad to see a gifted pilot suffer from an accident like this.
And those who voted to Eject the squawk can kiss my rear....

I don't know what is going on lately in this forum. I have had squawks covering breaking news (plane crashes) down-voted as well. No reason why anyone should down-vote this squawk.
Either 3 things, 1 - just get rid of it altogether - the post is gone the next day anyway, or like FB - if you 'like' something on FB, anyone can then click on the 'likes' and see who liked it - so just add that to the up/down thumbs, or have so if you want to put a negative thumb - a page where you have to post why you are voting it down.
Orrrr have FA staff monitor who are the serial trolls and eject them!!

Thanks for that info. I was really surprised by the ejects, because I thought the squawk was relevant. I certainly meant no ill will or disrespect to the pilot by squawking it, either. In other words, my intentions were all good, as far as I could tell. Oh well.
It seems to have become commonplace. There are some trolls out there that are very childish and immature with nothing better to do. I wish there was a way that FA could make it a little harder to down vote. Just FYI, I rarely pay attention to the votes, deciding by a title to look at a story or not, but too many down votes will just throw a good story into oblivion. There is a special place in hell for folks like that, those that have no respect for others. Just keep the posts coming.
Along with some comments about things on here its kind of gone down hill.

RIP Eddie, you are a legend! Condolences to the family.
Don't sweat it aknorris - ejects happen to all of us for no reason. I think others that have had squawks ejected do it to get back at everyone else. Maybe they shouldn't have the vote count go below 0. It seems to cause a lot of butt-hurt.
