It's kind of sad that we have all these so called "experts" weighing in and speculating. Because I don't read most articles or watch the videos I don't know what actual facts have been made public. 
Same here. At this point the only one to pay attention to is the upcoming Govt's NTSB report of the crash that comes after they take everything apart and analyze everything.It's kind of sad that we have all these so called "experts" weighing in and speculating. Because I don't read most articles or watch the videos I don't know what actual facts have been made public.

....and even after that.....this isn't going to bring Greg and his family back, and I doubt we will feel better. I get the human need to know...but I am fine not knowing because it isn't going to change anything. Ditto on the Hamlin tragedy.

Well, it probably ISN'T that important for MOST of us to know, but if you fly one of these aircraft or fly IN one, it could save lives. Regardless of what the ultimate issue was that triggered this tragedy, I don't think there is ANY question that the pilot made some SERIOUS mistakes, and clearly SHOULD have known better, much like the two clowns responsible for Dale Jr's near tragedy.
That's the purpose of the NTSB. Continue to make flying safer.

The ONLY thing in question is why one of the engines failed. The handling of the aircraft after the failure is out there for the whole world to see, and you don't need the NTSB to learn that you should NEVER try to do what the pilot did, ESPECIALLY in THAT airplane. EVERYONE with ****pit time in that aircraft will tell you that. It's an underpowered slug with TWO engines, and the pilot tried to execute a slow, tight, low altitude turn on one engine with the gear and flaps down. Almodt guaranteed disaster.

Greg Biffle’s home broken into weeks after he and his family died in Statesville plane crash
The burglary was reported to the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday, Jan. 8, at Biffle’s estate along Doolie Road in Mooresville.

^ Imo this crime is lower than stealing flowers off of a grave. The kind of stuff that deserves some serious punishment. I hope they find the guilty and make them pay.
I'm told that the reason there are fewer death notices made public now-a-days is that thieves are using those notices to burglarize the homes of the relatives of the deceased during funeral services, knowing that no one is likely to be home.
A special place in hell certainly awaits the s.o.b.'s.

That's the lowest of low class.
Like you said, there's a special place in hell for these p.o.s.

Still a lot of unanswered questions. Juan Browne explains the report in plain English
