It is very unfortunate that journalists regularly read this forum, and that we cannot track news amongst skydiving friends without significant consequences and media attention. In reality this is not just a skydivers forum, it is a journalists resource.
The newspapers finding out before family and friends has been extremely distressing.
Maybe this is the best thing we can all learn from these tragic events. We all want to be the first to know, the first to hear, the first to know the gossip - but come on guys, lets grit our teeths, make a conscious effort, and do the right thing in future?
