We constantly jump the media and others for their mistakes in rush to judgement and then we ourselves do the same. Smoke in the cockpit is usually caused by something burning and who knows what that was. Do all of you know where your smoke mask is? What exactly is the 310 procedure for smoke? What do you do if your panel bursts into flame or stops working altogether and you are trying to find the airport for an emergency landing?? What kind of rocket scientist does it take to know your chances of living are better if you do not hit objects like buildings if you can avoid them??? Lastly, what kind of person would presume to have any idea what was going on in that cockpit when it hit?
In my job, I make calculated guesses as to what caused aircraft accidents but never in one case I can think of did I try and make a judgement on what the pilot did in a case like this any more than the rudder trim accident a month or so back.
 
I'm sorry your friend passed away, I'm sure this is a very emotional time. I'm also very sorry for the boy whose life and body has been permanently, forever scarred in a most horrible way. That made ME very emotional.

My earlier post was very general in nature, and admitted upfront the fact that we weren't there and all the information is not in. If there is a specific part of my post that you object to or dishonors a particular deceased individual, PM me and I'll delete that part.

This plane stopped at by the airport I work at the day before the crash. According to the other line guys the pilot was "running 300 mph". He was in such an unbelievable hurry. Next morning he goes down. I know they are saying it was an emergency but perhaps he didn't take the necessary time to accurately complete the preflight
No real use in this type of speculation, obviously a very experienced pilot and hopefully an investigation will shed some light on the cause, condolences to friends and family.
