Apparently at a Young Eagle event:

God, what an awful thing. When an event designed to lure young people
to the sky turns to tragedy, G.A. loses, big time.


Two ninth-grade girls were killed in the crash. Not only was it a Young
Eagles flight, but the girls were students at Aviation High School, a
school
for students with an interest in flying.

What a loss. Is this the first Young Eagles accident of this severity?
I don't recall, thankfully, hearing about any fatalities before.


EAA site says this is the first fatal Young Eagle accident.
