That wreckage looks brutal. It took me a while to figure out that
orange and white painted piece of metal was the trailing underside of
a wing.


What could be the cause? He was presumably a good pilot, and from
what I understand the weather was clear. And yet the news says it
looks like the aircraft hit the mountain head on. Mechanical failure?
Sudden incapacitation of the pilot? Bad piloting (seems unlikely,
with all he had survived previously)? Suicide?


You're an idiot.
