But there were grosse errors from the start taking off in a single with weather giving cloud at 100 feet or below? Not clever.
Clambering on top at 11500 then cancelling IFR?
Disregarding icing conditions in a non approved into ice aircraft?
Flying into approaching night conditions?
Generator failure they could have diverted for an IFR approach while they still had juice?
What would have happened if they had to descent while still over the Rockies?
Making a blind descent when unsure of exact position and still descending when 100 feet over ground faced with trees and cars.
Grosse bad airmanship by two people who sell airmanship and make a lot from doing so.
As stated had it been me I would have kept mum and held my head in shame and thanked my God! Even an unsecured tool box took a trip through the front screen.
