The link to the story and NTSB report above is but one example of a tragic subject that I'd like to tackle.
On a dual flight and something goes awry, do you think it's Karmic Justice for the CFI to give his/ her life for the mistake? (Assuming you believe in such a thing)
Personally, I find it most tragic when the student dies and instructor lives, much like when the Captain of a sinking ship saves himself at the lost of his crew. What instructor would want to psychologically bear that? 44709 ride is the least of his concerns at that point. I think the same sorrowful feeling would persist with any pilot who loses a passenger and he lives.
I hope to never experience that.
I hope this student flies again. From the story, it appears they only speak of a sprained ankle, but the NTSB report says his condition is much worse.
