She should never have been landing at Hobby. It is a commercial airport. Ellington Field is only a few miles away. SR20 with parachute, but the chute must be deployed manually. NTSB says it was a flat spin.

The pilot was relatively new (licensed in 2014). Hobby is busy Airport (South West flies from there).

One of my buddies actually owns the Ace Hardware. The store manager's car was the one hit. She missed the propane tanks by only a few feet.
