Worst part of this "hobby"

Very sad.

Very sad. Learning to fly (should be a joyous time) and something goes terrible / horribly wrong.

Such a sad thing. Condolences to the families and friends of the deceased.

I guess a pilot just can't envision it ever really happening to them or we'd all go hang up our keys.

But the same could be said about cars, boats, motorcycles, etc....

RIP

This from the story, what does it mean?

"The FAA did not classify that as an incident or accident because it was only considered an emergency landing."

They may have been referring to the 2013 highway landing this same airplane had.
