I think that NORAD sending out the fighter jets wasn't an over reaction because they weren't just searching for terrorists, they were securing the area from all planes. Part of it was a reflection of our society post 9/11 but I believe that it was more of an all around safety issue.
Small plane crashes happen all the time, and it's sad that people die, but you never hear of them unless it is someone who is famous or well known.
I don't think that it is fair that the death of Cory Lidle is publicized but if that had been someone from Perry, no one would have cared except for the family of that person.
