MOD and 1994 helicopter crash
The news today is of evidence that it was grossly unfair of the MOD to
blame the pilots for the Chinook helicopter crash in the Mull of Kintyre, Scotland, and that
it is possible that computer software was involved. I jumped
to conclusions, and assumed that there was a cover-up - and I
felt very angry indeed. Then I read a comment written long ago about the
fury of God, saying it was right for God to be angry with things that
spoil or corrupt the world. That is true - and it is right for us to be
furious about evil. Only we need to be sure that our anger is rightly
directed: I haven't heard the MOD side, at least, not in any way that
convinces me.
At the same time, anger against wrong must not be our main attribute.
Love and appreciation of what is good is far more important.
