10 Dead in Helicopter Accident

Posted by 2Emma on March 13, 2015 at 8:57pm

Three French athletes and seven others were killed in a helicopter accident. Two helicopters collided in Argentina on the evening of March 9th, Monday. The helicopter the 10 victims were in were heading to a gorge in northwestern Argentina. They were on a reality TV show called "Dropped". Among the dead was a famed sailor Florence Arthaud who broke the record of crossing the North Pacific alone in 1990. Camille Muffat, a swimmer who won 3 medals at the 2012 Olympic, was killed as well. Alexis Vastine, a boxer who won a bronze medal in the 2008 Olympic, was also killed.

Question:

1) What would your reaction be if you were a friend/family member of one of the deceased?

2) Would you blame the TV show?

    I would need to know more of how it happened before I were to blame the TV show

    I would be stumped as well as mad and curios as to why they collided. and yes i would blame the tv show because that was the reason he was on the helicopter.

    I would be struck with anger that a such weird coincidence could involve in death. Yes my first reaction would be against the tv show

      I agree, my first reaction would definetly be to blame the tv show, but I would hope that I see reason eventually.

    I would be shocked and not really know what to think. I wouldn't blame the TV show because there isn't much they could have done to prevent this from happening.

    I would be upset.  This is very sad news.  No, I would not blame the TV show. It was just one of those freaky things.

    I would be very upset and sad, probably get depressed, its really hard when a family member passes away. I would not blame the TV show because it isn't really their fault if the helicopters collided, but some people might blame the TV show like saying if it wasn't for the TV they wouldn't have been on the helicopter.But no i would not be blaming the TV show.

      I probably wouldn't take such a mature rout and would probably blame the tv show, but hopefully I would see reason because they didn't know the helicopters would collide and it was just a freak accident.

    I would be very sad if a friend or family member was on the individuals who died on the helicopter. I would be kinda disappointed that the two helicopters weren't safer and could of possibly seen each other, but again freaky things happen.
