This is truly heart-breaking. We hear time and time again of accidents that
are ultimately caused by pilot error, and while every loss is a tragedy,
there is some comfort in knowing that there are things we can do as pilots
to avoid those situations happening to us. We have, at least, some measure
of control over our fate.  Many is the time I have told my wife, in
reference to flying the 172, "listen, if the wings off these planes
routinely came off in flight, then I would probably not fly, but they simply
don't do that.  Planes are typically lost due to accidents that are
ultimately avoidable."

That's what makes the report so painful to read. These people literally had
no chance...and did nothing wrong.
