This story doesn't pass the smell test? Out of fuel? An on board emergency?

CNN gets the whole story with included tower tape. He lost the engine.......

Won't there eventually be a report from either the FAA or the NTSB?

A friend of mine I graduated high school with died a few years ago in one of these planes. I would never step foot in one...

OK, thx.

The story on the other link makes me think equipment failure. I mean, how can an experienced instructor and an other-than-novice pilot make such a huge mistake so as to get into a spin or stall at such a low altitude?

Oops -- never mind, I confused the two stories. Sorry.

I don't understand the fascination with plane crashes on roads - I rarely see anything about all the car crashes at airports.
