The Spin

Narrative A

This is yet another example of why airshows should have long been a thing of the past. They're simply too dangerous and often lead to the unnecessary deaths of pilots and innocent bystanders.

Vice

Narrative B

Like many activities airshows have risks, but that doesn't mean they should be banned. Though tragic accidents still happen, these events have seen a vast improvement in safety and remain as popular as ever.
