Courious Crash

I understand that some who may be acqauinted with the deceased my read
this thread.
I am looking for an explaination which may provide closure, not blame.
CJ, we both have known intelligent people who have made
uncharacteristicly bad/wrong decisions which lead to their deaths.
Indeed, we do not know if this family stopped anywhere between Oklahoma
and Ohio. We still do not know where they stopped in Oklahoma.
What I am trying to understand is, how a husband and wife, both pilots,
would not challenge their spouse's decision to press a situation which
might lead to an uncertain outcome?
