All the media coverage is ‘crashed’ and ‘lost’ and other passive voice nonsense. It’s manufacturing consent garbage.

It’s also so they can obfuscate events, such as maybe the reason they can’t find this WSO is he took shrapnel to his neck or something: they can also avoid reporting a fatality.

Some people just want to see the world burn.
