Commentary:
This is one situation where I’m left with no shortage of questions, and I’m wondering if anybody really knows more about what happened here. Several young people in an aircraft is not something I see often, if at all. I don’t want to go so far as to infer that the pilot was inexperienced, but simply as a knee jerk reaction, hearing of a 20-year-old pilot flying a plane full of people seems pretty odd. For all I know this pilot could have been flying for the last ten years, but from an outsider’s point of view, twenty seems pretty young to be flying a plane with that many passengers.
