In
any way?
How about because of the fact that if this asswipe didn't decide to steal a truck that day, 4 men would be alive right now?
I can understand that he probably won't be charged with felony murder; I can even see how a civil case would need a lot of help. But what happened to morality and responsibility? The car thief set in motion a series of events that eventually resulted in these men's deaths. I can't understand how so many of you are giving him a pass on this! He's a goddamn thief, and because of that, people died. If he doesn't steal a truck, four people live. Period.

As far as the actual cause of the crash, I imagine we'll find that, like almost all aviation accidents, it wasn't one big thing that caused it; rather a tragic series of small events that led to it.
There's a lot of distractions up there - in addition to the actual flying, which takes a hell of a lot of concentration in and of itself, the pilot is listening to air traffic control, the other pilots, the police scanner, the photographer, and his producer - all talking at once.
That's why you've got to be a damn good pilot to even attempt what they all make look easy.
RIP and Godspeed Craig, Rick, Scott, and Jim.
