6. And this is one of those occasions

No victims with political connections and no reason to suspect foul play. A non-story except for the unfortunate pilots and their friends and families.

4. This is local for me

I live a stone's throw from the airport this company is based in. There was a rumor flying around for a while that Jack Piatt--a local investor who just bought good chunks of downtown Pittsburgh--was on board, but that turned out to be false, although this does appear to be a charter company he uses extensively.

Here's an article from the local paper:
