But surely you jest, said supporters, those things never crash! Oh, but they do.

Over the weekend, a Blue Angel crashed at an air show in South Carolina, killing the pilot. An investigation is now being conducted to find out just what happened.

Meanwhile, back here in San Francisco, the question becomes what should we do about this year's Fleet Week? After all, a Blue Angel crashing somewere over the city would be bad. Very, very bad. Gavin told the Chron that he's going to wait and see what the investigation concludes before making a decision. Aaron Peskin also adopted a wait-and-see attitude and proposed the idea that the Blue Angels can continue, but only over the water. On the SFGate blog, commenters are all over the place (and we mean all over the place- everything from accusations of NIMBYism to "stop the war machine!").
