Default Typical News Reporting on an accident

Note that the "engine" stalled as a result of flying into a box
canyon...

The reporters never seem to get that a stall has nothing to do with
the engine.


The pilot's name was Berk Snow. The passenger was his wife, who suffered a
broken neck and multiple-day exposure (the crash may have happened as early
as Thursday) apparently up on a ridge where she was rescued.

If any of you are familiar with Burning Man, he was sort of a hero there for
exposing so many non-aviation people to the joy of flying.
