While evidently being used correctly, the term crash does tend to sensationalize aviation incidents. Frankly, I'm just getting tired of the news altogether. Even local news anchors lead in each story by editorializing the event. I wish they would just report the facts and let me come to my own conclusions about how I should feel about it.
