That's what should be taught in flight schools, IMO. JFK Jr. and the rest were not bad people being reckless, they just made one bad decision and physics did the rest.
Super sad but the lesson applied correctly could prevent future tragedies.

No one thinks they were just suicidal maniacs. No doubt, the passengers wanted to get to the airport. The pilot should have said, it is impossible, and gone to a safe airport. He just made a very deadly poor decision, and paid with his life, and several other people's life's. Sad decision.
