Truely sad, and as ususal the comments by insensitive and uneducated Youtuber's makes it even worse.

RIP the two pilots, and I hope the families find a way to deal with this tragedy.

I wonder how long it will take them to find the cause of this one.

And on a side note: Not a good day for aviation, this coupled with the PC-12 crash in MT.
