God, what an awful thing. When an event designed to lure young people
to the sky turns to tragedy, G.A. loses, big time.

My condolences to the families, and the organizers of the event.

Two ninth-grade girls were killed in the crash. Not only was it a Young
Eagles flight, but the girls were students at Aviation High School, a school
for students with an interest in flying.

What a loss. Is this the first Young Eagles accident of this severity?
I don't recall, thankfully, hearing about any fatalities before.

Just so sad.....

Sadly, the media won't pick up on the following paragraph taken from the
above web page:

The accident marks the first fatalities among the approximately 1,200,000
Young Eagles whom EAA members have flown since EAA launched the program in
1992.

This to me shows an incredible safety record of general aviation.

That story is incorrect in that there were two killed in a YE flight
at 00V several years ago.

I fly Young Eagles through 2 different clubs.
Prior to this accident we had been discussing changing our rules to
prohibit 2 kids from the same family to fly in the same plane.

We should all look at this. Loss to the family, liability - let's split
them up - everyone wins!
