An entire Kansas family was killed a few weeks ago
as the result a Pilatus turboprop crash in FL. Here's
the talking-head, news-drivel on the event . . .

This accident is noteworthy because of the amount
of detail available. It was daytime and watched/recorded
on radar. Numerous witnesses were interviewed and
I think one even got some video.
At first blush this appears to be a weather related
in-flight break-up. If any of you have ever spent
much time in FL, you'll know how spectacular
the convective activity can be. But those effects
which produce really amazing lighting shows on
the ground are the same effects that chew up airplanes
and spits them out in pieces.
I expect investigation of the this "stormy noon day
event" to be rich with data. I'll be tracking this
event for the final report. I may order the blue-ribbon
report if one is produced.
