Since the type of aircraft concerned has a pretty low glide speed, would it be rocket-science (or cause offence) to suggest that this was a classic stall/spin accident? No slur on the pilot concerned of course... simply trying to invite constructive debate. bm
It would be very, very premature to try to assign a cause. Even if they did stall/spin there might have been something going on beforehand to put them in that situation.
I also can't think of any 'constructive debate' we can have at present, and I'm not sure what value consolences from people who don't know those involved and/or their families have.
However if any of you want to read something about it to make you see red, check the reader's comments in the Daily Mail's online report. Most of them have not only no sympathy expressed, but the lack of knowledge of quite a few contributions seems to echo that of the new Strictly judge:
