Does AOPA hand this out in scripts for eyewitnesses to read to the
press?



Of ocurse he's trying to avoid hitting homes. He doesn't want to hit
*anything*.

I remember reading in the paper about my own plane crash where somebody on
the
ground commented on the superior job I'd done avoiding houses where kids
were
playing out front. To tell you the truth, I don't remember them even
being
there.


LOL - That's what I always assume when I read those things.
Hell, with all the gratuitous bad press we get, we might as well get some
partially-warranted praise now and again!

I would guess that the pilot it trying to miss the biggest/hardest thing in
his path. Everything else gets filtered out.
