and if you feel it was tragic perhaps you should review a dictionary.
Yeah, pilots fault, they make the call! not like anyone from entorage is going to fly the plane!

here is what i found on dictionary.com

TRAGIC>>> trag·ic : Having the elements of tragedy; involving death, grief, or destruction: a tragic accident.

3. Mournful; expressive of tragedy, the loss of life, or of sorrow.

WHAT IS THERE TO REVIEW B!TCH??:shiner: :slap: wned:

a tragedy must describe some attempt at a great task. when it fails that is a tragedy. perhaps you should read more.

A drama or literary work in which the main character is brought to ruin or suffers extreme sorrow, especially as a consequence of a tragic flaw, moral weakness, or inability to cope with unfavorable circumstances.

Yeap, better than 99% of the other trash out there that filled the market void left by her death. You may not like that style of music, but she was definitely more talented than many or most of the other "singers" out there.

Either way, she was a productive member of society, and it's sad to see someone like that go.

According to websters, you are wrong. Maybe you should get a new dictionary :slap:

no, some people here just flunked out of high school comp. it is inappropriate to refer to an accident as a tragedy.


Tragedy is "an imitation of an action that is serious, complete and of a certain magnitude; in language embellished with each kind of artistic ornament... in the form of drama, not of narrative, through pity and fear effecting the proper purgation of these emotions (catharsis)." Tragedy must tell of a person who is "highly renowned and prosperous" and who falls as a result of some "error, or frailty," because of external or internal forces, or both.

So now that you edited your post, that's exactly what happened here. A highly renowned person was killed due to an error. Thank you, drive through.

What's the Definition of Tragedy?
----------------------------------

President Clinton was visiting a fourth grade elementary
school class. They were in the middle of a discussion
related to words and their meanings.

The teacher asked the President if he would like to lead the
class in the discussion of the word, "tragedy." So our
illustrious leader asks the class for an example of a
"tragedy."

One little boy stands up and offers, "If my best friend, who
lives next door, was playing in the street and a car came
along and ran over him, that would be a tragedy."

"No," says Clinton, "that would be an accident."

A little girl raises her hand. "If a school bus carrying
fifty children drove off a cliff, killing everyone involved,
that would be a tragedy."

"I'm afraid not," explains the President. "That's what we
would call a GREAT LOSS."

The room goes silent. No other children volunteer.
President Clinton searches the room. "Isn't there
someone here who can give me an example of a
tragedy?"

Finally, way in the back of the room, a small boy
raises his hand. In a quiet voice he says, "If Air Force
One, carrying Mr. & Mrs. Clinton, was struck by a missile
and blown up to smithereens, that would be a tragedy!"

"Fantastic," exclaims Clinton, "that's right. And can
you tell me WHY that would be a tragedy?"

"Well," says the boy, "because it wouldn't be an accident,
and it certainly would be no great loss!"
