Default Corey Lidle Crash (My opinion on what Happened)

Who says that? What mechanical failure? What cloud?



He also probably didn't realize that his rate of
turn wasn't quick enough to avoid the building until it was too late.

Is this a possible explanation or am I completely wrong here?


That appears to be what happened, but not because he wasn't looking. Most
likely he ran out of room in the turn because of the crosswind that was
pushing the ground track of the airplane towards the buildings.
