4 dead. The pilot and 3 in training in the flight simulator inside the building. 5 injured.
The pilot reported to be highly experienced.

I saw that on the news. Looks like he had engine trouble. So sad.

Yes, no official word yet, but that's what I would think. Had trouble, turned around and didn't make it back.

I saw this today.......that is terrible.
My deceased x-husband was a pilot and flew a Bonanza...... He was very good, and during take off and landing no one talked in the plane...... He did have his air transport license...... I loved flying with him, and felt very safe every time we flew someplace........

They said the pilot was a contract pilot and retired air traffic controller. Our Chief Meteorologist proposed a couple of scenarios involving wind shear and low altitude on the 6pm news cast. It will probably be weeks before we know for sure.
Part of the building is still unsafe for firefighters and rescue personnel to enter, but I think they said they had accounted for everyone.
