The only comment I will make is that with white-out conditions in the mountains and hitting the trees, they are very lucky to be alive. Fortune smiled on them that there was another aircraft and ground rescue assets nearby.

I hope they are all recovering well. It's been a tough couple years for CG aviation since 6505 and 1705.

It's pretty clear from the article, without speculating, that the crash is weather related.

But I said 'with all due respect'....

Your first sentence was speculation, which we don't do here. It has been removed.
