Why should nobody be speculating at this point?


That's the media's job.

I don't have all the facts,


Having all the facts tends to preclude speculation.

I don't have all the facts, just my experiences of having flown in the
same general area quite a few times, and the radar track as seen on
Passur. I did just fire up Flight Simulator 2004 tho with an SR-20 to
see if that turn is even possible, and flying north at 100 kts, 30
degree bank to the left, maintaining level flight, I was not able to
avoid crossing over into Manhattan when starting from directly over the
east bank of the East River. Maybe it's doable at a slower speed, but
you'd have to probably drop flaps to safely slow the plane down more.
(not sure what the clean stall speed is of that plane).

You don't need to care about stalls in that plane--it has airbag
seatbelts, a parachute, and pretty color screens.

So when you stall if at 400 feet, which is going to save you, the airbag or
the chute?

You better stick with MSFS.

At least MSFS has pretty colored screens.

And you'd better stay away from irony, since you can't seem to
recognize it in other people's comments.

The screens. Once they reboot, I'll be back in level flight again.

Not as pretty as Cirrus aircraft. And they have nicer upholstery,
too.
