Sussex Police Assistant Chief Constable Steve Barry said it now appears “increasingly likely” the death toll from the worst airshow disaster in 60 years will remain at 11.Yes, this is the force that last week – several hours before the social media horse had left the stable, of course – was trying to prevent people from uploading images and video of the crash to prevent ‘distress and worry’ to relatives who might not have been contacted by the police yet.
Yet had no apparent problem speculating in the media about the possibility of the death toll increasing to 20 when the fuselage was removed, a speculation that they’ve now had to correct given that they didn’t find any additional remains.
I guess relatives of the missing wouldn’t find that public speculation, given it’s official imprimatur, ‘distressing’ at all, oh, dear me, no.
Meanwhile, Sussex police have warned tapestry makers against producing further distressing and insensitive images of Harold's eye injury, until the surviving Godwinsons have been contacted and counselled.
