Rough translated excerpt from Italian press...

«When my son called me, asking me if someone could bring him home and that everyone was fine, then I understood everything - says Ettore - Silvia told me that the plane already had ignition problems in Trento, so she called her inspector who explained to her how she should do it». And again: «Going to high altitude, she experienced other troubles – she adds – She told me that the plane went down in a nosedive and that she saved herself by applying the rescue maneuvers. He lost consciousness for a moment and can't remember the moments before the bang. My daughter did that journey several times, she knew it well. She just returned from Florida where she earned her US patent. A miracle that she's alive, I really hope she'll forget about flying, even though she always tells me it's more likely to die in a road accident than in a flight.'
