The Morality and Ethics of Recent Disasters.

8,961 N908QD  2 months ago

Hello, as many of us are aware, a horrific accident has happened in India this week. The seriousness of this tragedy is no joke nor is it something to be used to gain attention or whatever. What do I mean? Well, I can’t help but notice the issues surrounding many SP users recreating the Air India 171 airliner, which was a 787-8 that was registered VT-ANB.

The Essential Question
I honestly need to know why some users will build aircraft that were involved in a serious or deadly accident within a day or a few hours of said accident. I noticed this with the Potomac Mid Air Collision, Delta Connection 4819, Jeju Air 2216, and Azerbaijan 8243. Also the aforementioned Air India AI171.

I honestly want to know why some users are publishing aircraft and are claiming they’re to “remember” the crash. Why replicate the plane though? Why not make a memorial? I made a Jeju memorial for the victims of 2216. It isn’t in a Jeju air livery nor is it really made for flight. It’s a memorial to honor the deceased. I know I made MU5735’s aircraft, but keep in mind the accident was in 2022. I didn’t make it less than 72 hours after it. It’s so bizarre. Just slow down and wait until it’s been a long time since the accident.

    @Graingy ah I see, I actually didn’t know that was a rule. Seems I have to remove my Jeju thing.

    While I agree that remaking disasters so soon after they happen is rather tasteless, the rules do explicitly forbid memorial craft.

    No sympathy posts or memorial posts. Move those discussions to the forums.
