I'm a student at the Indiana University School of Music. This is a terribly sad day for us. I knew two of the people killed very well-in fact I had spent a great deal of time with both of them just yesterday. I'm still in shock. They were coming back from a rehearsal in Lafayette, for what i dont know.

Absolutely awful news. :(

That sucks...why didn't they just drive though? Seems a rather short trip to fly.

I had a friend just graduate from there a year or so ago.

A pilots worst nightmare is losing an engin (espically in a single) in the dark over hostile terrain...nothing to aim for but black. I don't fly singles at night often.

Sorry to hear about that.

Who knows. Everyone's asking why they decided to "go for it" in obviously bad weather (it was nothing new, the fog was horrible all night). I wish I knew. :(
