I'm not familiar with the Emb-100 although I did fly the 110 20 years
ago. At 13007 lbs it was a two pilot aircraft under 135 with no
autopilot due to autotrim runaways in earlier years. Grossly
underpowered at 750 shp per side, you needed to pitch down
to the blue line during v-1 cuts looking at the treetops, and this
was during training weights.

Turned on the TV this morning and caught breaking news of Embraer 100
crash near (1 mile north) of KMHT. The pilot walked out of the
wreckage moments before it exploded. Local news reported that the plane
took off and immediately requested an emergency landing. Witnesses
report one engine was out. One fellow (claiming some knowledge about
aircraft) said he noted that one prop was not spinning, and he said it
sounded like he was full throttle at that point. He also said the
plane was one wing low on a 45 degree angle. The plane crashed at
7:20am, five minutes after declaring the emergency.

Winds were reported calm at the time, but were NW yesterday and are NW
now. I'm guessing (?) he took off from RWY 35, and was attempting to
return to RWY 17. One witness hypothesized that the pilot may have
attempted to set down in the Walmart parking lot where he crashed.
