The Cirrus SR20 is a great little plane. If I had enough money lying around, I would probably get one too. It has a emergency parachute system. Pull the red handle and a chute deploys and lowers the entire aircraft to the ground safely. Apparently it did not come into play in this accident, however.
Visibility isn't the best, today. Maybe he just didn't see where he was going.

I wonder if the NY fans gave him a lot of grief and he decided to end it.
