Two good outcomes. I find it fascinating, but not surprising, that in both video clips, the reporters couldn't be bothered to find out what kind of "plane" was involved.

In the Utah incident, the owner of the FBO was quick to take attention away from himself and point his finger at the pilots:

The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating. The aircraft was rented by the pair from Bountiful Flight. Jason Clark, owner of Bountiful Flight, spoke about the crash.

“We do more inspections on these airplanes than are even required for the FAA, we go over and above what we need to do to make sure these airplane are safe,” he said. “So far, what we can tell is it wasn’t a mechanical problem; it was most likely pilot error.”
Bountiful Flight is off my list of FBOs to rent from.
