I was just going to post a correction, because the last news I saw said that
the tail had not been found. The sheriff described the accident scene as
pretty much a lawn dart, although he didn't use those words....60 by 100
feet.

Freefall is a lot different than being pinned in a pile of bodies in the

end of the cabin by acceleration forces. I doubt that they were even able
to
move, once the dive began.


I understand that, IF they were out of control. I descended at
3000-4000fpm in a 206 and kept the engine warm. It wouldn't be
unreasonable to think they could reach 7000fpm without being out of
control...although it does sound like a spiral descent with inflight
breakup. I'm reading they found the tail section some distance away.
Not the way I want to die.


The Caravan does not carry ice well. There's an airworthiness
directive against it for that reason. See
