Maybe he needs to do a better job with his pre-flight inspection and maintenance if you are stating that it was a mechanical failure. I grasp that...I build cars as a hobby, much like the rest of us here. I know stuff breaks, and bad things happen.

I just see a guy like Jack with alot of money to play with....crashing two planes. Makes you wonder if he's in over his head. Just considering the (likely) possibility...
