Agree with the "not funny" comment, but also agree with Evan. 2.7 miles NE of the airport and down to a couple of hundred feet does not sound like "in the pattern". Poked in the east side of the roof and the top part of the chimney is broken off. Plane looks to have been nearly straight down, belly to the southwest when it went into the house. Pictures of the removal.

People are not perfect. We make mistakes. I am leaning toward Ramy's comment on tunnel vision. I have had it while flying. In the pattern. It is not fun.
