In looking at the reports on TV in crashed right in front of our hangar where we keep our 182. We have a leased 172 on tie downs that was shown on TV as a the background shot of the airport. It is a pretty small community of pilots out there. Very much a family like group. The company I worked at for 12 years had their Cessna 206 out there. One of the contractor pilots we hire for specific projects has his Cessna 140 out there. We have our other leased 172 in a hangar that is shared with a guy that has his kit airplane in the same hangar along with a bunch of junk.
The speculation right now is that one of the thrust reversers came on when it was not supposed to. With one engine pushing forward and the other pushing in reverse the aircraft will do bad things. No doubt the FAA will figure it out and file a report in a year or so.
