I guess these are the times we live in.

On a somewhat similar topic, I spent my entire 23 year military career as a USAF aviator. I grew up as the son of a career aviation mechanic who's business was building racing and aerobatic engines. My younger brother died at age 20 in an aviation accident. I grew up around my Dad's clients and friends having died in aviation accidents. I've lost friends in military aviation accidents from the time I was a 2d Lt.
The common thought around almost every accident was "It couldn't have been his fault. There MUST have been something wrong with the airplane. He was simply too good a pilot to let something happen to him, etc, etc."
Throughout my 50+ years around civilian and military aviation I've read countless accident reports, and the common thread in almost all was Pilot Error. The pilot simply let something get away from him or put himself in a predicament/position that was not recoverable. Seldom was the accident the sole fault of the aircraft.
So while yes, it's too early to know the facts of the accident, I know on which side I'd place my money...
With respect,
