Just caught this story on the news. My most sincere condolences to the family and friends of those lost.

I find it interesting that the 777 accident @ SFO gets non stop media attention...and this story was an after thought filler, that they told in under 30 secs. 10 lost in this accident and only 2 in SFO, yet almost no one will hear about this tragedy.

I guess bigger is still better? At least for the news media.

Fly safe all.

Yep, whatever they deem will sell the most ad space, wins.....

There weren't any witnesses to this accident and so few details available. It's so remote, the competition to get the story is not as extensive, so neither is the coverage. A huge tragedy.

Simple fact is, more of the "general public " in the US will fly on an airliner than an Otter. From a news standpoint, the airliner story is relevant to more people.
