Ferrari Mailing List: Re: media

[Peter Rychel (dino308gt4]

I may be young compared to most Ferrari owners (38), but I'm old enough to remember a time when news was limited to an hour-long 6PM broadcast and half-hour 11PM show, not 24 hours a day... That's a problem! Back then if you'd want news at your leisure, pick up a newspaper!

The coverage I saw up here in Canada (using the stock Airbus info-video) included a notation from Airbus when they showed the keypad inputs that the code being typed was an example only and not a real code... Still, a stupid idea because now a person could hold a flight attendant hostage and force the location of the keypad and the real code out of them.

Part of the issue is they have to fill airtime so they grab anything at all and just stretch it as much as possible.  Example, when Tiger Woods had his car accident trying to avoid his outraged wife, all CNN had was Tiger had been in an accident near his home, nothing else.  But they cycled with it for hours and hours with Google maps images of his house pointing out possible things he could have hit and spinning all sorts of theories, etc.

 

But yeah, they don’t seem to understand the possible ramifications of what they air.  As long as they fill the time.

 

BTW seems like they have jumped to a lot of conclusions without the flight data info.

Fully agree. I was watching coverage yesterday on Fox (flipping channels at the time) when they actually disclosed the override code for the key pad. Absolute lunacy.

The recent air tragedy in Europe is bad enough.

But the US Media revealing the systems in place, with pictures and locations of switches  and number pads that prevent individuals from entering the cockpit is unconscionable in this day and age of air security.

If in fact we the industry as a whole, have a breach of a cockpit, either foreign or domestic, the media will have played a role in this.

The public has a right to know, but not always a need to know.
