I think that was the 2 soccer players that died. It looks like their windows were down. If the windows were up maybe they would have survived?
Of all places to crash, fields all around, the pilot smashed into a busy highway. Sad day.
The pilot was lined up with the runway finishing a loop but was too low. The video shows his downward inertia took him to ground impact. Even with all the open fields, the nature of the maneuver would not have him lined up anywhere else but show center.
I wonder how close the roadway was to the runway threshold? Most major cities have freeways or major roadways right at the end of runways.
For a real thrill, try I-5 off of San Diego's Lindbergh Field. You can count the rivets on the planes as they fly over the freeway. Lambert Field at St Louis is another place for up close and personal plane spotting.
