Not quite accurate and I'm disappointed in the NTSB playing on hot topic issues for politics and not sticking to the facts

The crash had NOTHING to do with "selfies"

It was caused by a non IFR or NIGHT current pilot taking off at night in LIFR conditions (300OVC 2 1/2SM), he had no flight plan (see no IFR clearance) and did what most people in that situation do, sharp turn to a steep dive and impacted.
