    1. In my opinion I think it was losing power, and he was trying to make it over to the highway and land, and he stalled and went down nose first and caught fire.

    1. It landed in a field adjacent to the airport, but I think they're shutting down the roadway just as a precaution.

    1. There's been a whole history of skydiving accidents for inadequate maintenance and deficient safety culture.

    1. We all understand and accept that there are inherent risks in this sport, but losing so many friends and respected members of the community at once is absolutely devastating.
    2. The skydiving community is incredibly close-knit, and several of the people on that plane had a profound impact on countless lives—including my own.
