People have been questioning regarding Princess Diana over the years but the papers still run articles about her or shoe-horn her name with tenuous links in unrelated stories - the Daily Mail ran the story the other week about the a report that was published that mentioned the history of Alton Towers and at every opportunity mentioned and pictured that Princess Diana went on the log flume with William and Harry!I think they will move on soon. Whilst they can still cash in on the victims, they will. But once the comments slow down and people start questioning why it is news, they will move on to the next story

Hope they didn't jump to the front of the queue. I mean, who did she think she was, royalty?It was both. Loved a Log Flume cred did Lady Di.
That video is still online (including dozens of comments mocking it)The only gripe I had with the press at the time was the shocking laziness of the press to actually investigate reality.
Even BBC News I remember running a CG 'recreation' of the crash that showed the train stopping upside down on the batwing, using 'emergency brakes' (like a car!)
The confusion on how coasters actually work unfortunately added to the perception that they're easy to go wrong.
Thats a different one though, the one Im on about was from the BBC.That video is still online
Oh, ok. I don't remember there being another one.Thats a different one though, the one Im on about was from the BBC.
Aerospace is statistically the safest way to travel. Trains are safer than cars. Yet car crashes never get the same media coverage that even minor plane or train incidents get.The only gripe I had with the press at the time was the shocking laziness of the press to actually investigate reality.

Yeah I get your post but that's not what I was on about. It wasnt the fact a big deal was being made, which youd expect, but the laziness of the journalism. Makes you realise how inaccurate the news often is.So basically they're giving the people what they want. Even with the BBC there will be a degree of sensationalism involved.
