Hazardous Headline

Was looking at Herald.com and found this headline interesting:

5 dead after crash at "fly-in" community runway

I was intrigued because I had recently seen something on TV or perhaps the web about these Jetson-like communities that are centered around an airfield. Many of the houses have garages that are actually hangars for planes. So I clicked on the article only to find that the accident on the runway was a car wreck. While the headline is technically not incorrect, it is misleading in that the obvious implication is that this was an accident involving an airplane. It's often said that driving is statistically more dangerous than flying, and I suppose this event is just a little anecdotal proof of that but trusting the headline editors at the Herald can be pretty hazardous too.

Addendum: Check out some of the comments the Herald's thoughtful readers leave on this article:

I saw this jump in "Hooper", but look out for that tree!

BMW: The Ultimate "Driving" Machine.

FYI: Not Ultimate "Flying" Machine.

seat belts are probably irrelevant under those conditions. Second-rate contenders for the Darwin Awards.

Can the families sue if it's proven that BMW is machanically intoxicating at certain speeds?

Don't we have some "slip-&-falls" down here in miami?

Splitting a 2008 BMW in half requires you have lots of money and zero brains. Five less Republican voters to worry about this November.

Put it on YouTube. Jumping an 85-foot high embankment, became airborne for 200 feet and striking a large tree is even DUMBER than Bird Road Rudy. Hope they don't have children.
