Does anyone have any information about the cause of this tragedy yet? The local rags, as always, like to suggest that the engine failed so the aircraft simply fell out of the sky, but the truth is that both crewmembers were experienced enough to have a good chance at successfully dealing with a "straightforward" engine failure. What was/were the additional factors that occurred?

I know there are people here who knew the crew so I do not wish to encourage the wild speculation that so often follows these events, but if anyone knows anything of genuine relevance I would very much like to hear it. The fact is, although I did not know the crew, I did know the aircraft well and I know people who were closely associated with Joe.

Many thanks,

WD
