Well if this is true no wonder it crashed:
The pilot walked away from Sunday's crash - leaving behind mangled
wreckage,
clipped pine trees, about 100 gallons of spilled jet fuel and a dent to a
parked truck.


Clearly, if it hadn't been fueled incorrectly, there wouldn't have been
a problem.


Sometimes it seems that the press gets less and less able to actually
get facts right. Not that they care, mind.


Doesn't sound like the accident is fuel related. Seems more like someone
flew in to IMC, lost control, and pulled the chicken switch.
