Thumbs down Bad journalism

What silly comments in the Vancouver Sun article (BTW, thanks for the link SpinSpinSugar):

"Gerbrandt said police don't know why the plane crashed, and or even why the group was going up in the air. He said the plane was not registered to any of the people in it when it crashed.

"In July 2001, the Boundary Bay Airport was rated the second-worst by Transport Canada for keeping unauthorized people and vehicles off its runways."

Seems like they are implying that the accident happened 'cuz some unqualified nut walked onto the apron unchallenged and tried to steal the airplane without knowing how to fly ... The balance of the article certainly doesn't support that theory.
