That statement makes the crash sound like the result of sabotage, doesn't
it?

It makes me think it was aflame before it ever hit the
ground.

It was obviously a missile attack by a covert military/CIA team directed by
Dick Cheney and Ariel Sharon to distract attention from their plans to take
over the world through Halliburton contracts.

An oxymoron if ever there was one.

Well, I'm a journalist, so I take offense to that. But still, that
article is utter crap.

Odd, since the closest thing the local paper in Greenwood could find to
a witness was the guy whose backyard it crashed in. Even he admits to
only going outside after hearing the crash.

I also happen to fly from the same FBO at RYY that the ill fated Cirrus
left from earlier in the day. As of now the only news is "crashed on
takeoff" just like the preliminary reports.

I find myself doubtful of the veracity of this reporter.

This marriage is off to a shaky start. The groom just asked the band to
play "Your cheatin' heart", and the bride just requested "Don't come home
a'drinkin' with lovin' on your mind".

News from the ground is the BRS Chute was deployed but did not arrest
the aircraft's descent. Early WAGS are lack of sufficient altitude to
properly deploy the chute, as the acccident occurred during take-off
phase. YMMV and wait for the NTSB Report.

Always seems like a rash of GA accidents right as the weather turns
warm...wonder why that is?

If this is true then it would mean there are emergency circumstances where
the chute isn't the best answer, even though it might seem to be.

Because people start flying again?

Or it might be that the outcome was doubtful, chute or not. A
serious control malfunction at low altitude (below minimum deployment
altitude for the the chute) is a no-win situation.

I haven't looked at any of the articles on the current accident,
so just speaking in general terms.
