Quality journalism...

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

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.

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?

Regarding your headline THREE SMALL PLANES CRASH IN ONE DAY...
I have long found it interesting that the mass media becomes hysterical
everytime an airplane crashes, yet resolutely ignores the fact that we
average 110 fatalities in car crashes PER DAY in this country... Where is
the headline story recounting the previous days fatal car crashes across
the
country?

Hell, they don't cover the LOCAL ones either.

Couple weeks ago there was a three car pile up at the intersection near our
house...two helicopters landed, four fire trucks on site, etc. Next day or
two not a word in the local paper about it. And yes, there were fatalities
as there were two of those memorial crosses at the corner within 72 hours.

Geez, they tried to call his house so many times that the phone was
disconnected? Then they started harassing his business?

Tell ya what. Whenever a news reporter dies, how about we all organize an
enormous "outpouring of sympathy" and make hundreds of phone calls to his
or
her family and ask them how they feel about it? :-/

We won't because we have much more class than the media pukes.

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.

An oxymoron if ever there was one.

There was an extensive post-crash fire so there is also speculation that the rocket cooked off after the aircraft hit
the ground.

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.
