ABC news reported that his kids were with him including his oldest daughter.
His wife is going to need lots of support.

The few pics I've seen make it look pretty foggy...if so, that may explain what happened.

They're now reporting that his oldest daughter, parent of one of her teammates and the teammate, along with the pilot were on board.
The early pics I saw showed that the fog was pretty low relative to the top of the hill. I can believe that they flew into the hillside if the fog was that low.
