I admit it. I did it. CBS has memos that say so.

Bwahahahahaha!
Actually, as Archangelsk says (we have both studied this accident at some length and can demolish conspiracy moonbats' ravings about it without even checking our notes), this mishap proves that you ought to check credentials on your professional pilots.
There was a two man crew on that airplane, and both had horrible records. One was a felon who had falsified his flight records; the other an affirmative-action hire who had shuffled through flight school without anybody telling him the truth: he didn't have what it takes to fly.
Here is the official NTSB report on the accident. Short cause: they lost flying speed, stalled, and couldn't recover (stall recoveries are taught before the greenest student solos).
The narratives are sketchy for this accident, which may be a new (and poor) way of doing things at the NTSB. The more complete .pdf is available here. Be aware that it is a 3MB file.
d.o.l.
Criminal Number 18F
Admit it, it was Carl (master of evil) Roves idea wasn't it.
