Pilatus landed on state highway

I can't imagine that an insurance agent would OVER estimate the damage.
He's the one writting the check, I'm sure his number is low ball. It
probably includes settling the suits that will surely come as well.

I friend of mine had an accident in his Mooney 201 that cost almost 1/2
million dollars. The plane sure wasn't worth that but each pax used his
$100,000 and the pilot uses all his medical, in addition to the cost of
the plane. (which was totalled).

Interesting. I thought the news article was actually fairly
informative and non-sensational.

I too was very much surprised and impressed to hear just the facts and no
sensationalism.
There was no "Many lives in extreme danger" or any of the other usual
comments made by the media.
It did make good reading because the journalist presented the story so well
that it was actually worth reading.
But then I thought that the poor journalist will never make to the big time
news teams without all the
glitz and sensationalism.
