At the risk of getting flamed here, why would anyone send out a student for his first solo at a time when the circuit is super busy? I don't think I would, no matter how ready I think a student is. This one most likely wasn't.

Very sad for all concerned, but I think just from the facts as they are known now, we can learn a few things, like making sure the first solo is done under controlled circumstances as much as possible, and this would include avoiding busy times at YMMB, which seldomly last more than a few hours when everyone's out there.
