F-18D Jet Crashes into home (Hoebawt. we said no drinking and driving!)

[L P]

A Korean immigrant whose family was killed when an F-18 crashed into his house returned home to survey the rubble and said he doesn't blame the military pilot who survived the accident.

Dong Yun Yoon, 37, lost his wife, two baby daughters and mother-in-law after a Marine Corps fighter plane clipped a tree and plummeted into houses about two miles from base. The pilot safely ejected and was rescued hanging by his parachute from a tree.

"I pray for him not to suffer for this action," Yoon said at a news conference, according to The Los Angeles Times. "I know he's one of our treasures for our country."

thats not greek tragic irony, thats jsut greek drama

No, that's irony.
definetly irony...
what we call in Dutch ironie van het leven (irony of life)

Why irony?
B/c of some stupid prediction by an oracle, they (parents and oedipus) do all in their power to make sure that it doesn't happen. And by doing so, they make it happen...
As audience, we know this already. If you reat the text, you should notice that a lot of things that Oedipus says, can be interpreted in two ways : the way Oedipus wants to say it, and another b/c we know more than he does.
i.e. : Oedipus refers to himself as a "Child of Fortune". He thinks about luck, meaning good fortune. However, we know that in fact, bad luck is what awaits him, bad fortune.
