True. However we do know that she had her PPL for less than 2 years, and she didn't fly for a living. We can also gather a little clarity by listening to the ATC comms and looking at the ground track. I'd say the decision to even consider landing at a Bravo when other options beckoned is a bit telling as well. She may have just picked the closest facility to the cancer center, without considering the pros/cons, or having a plan B/C.

I guess the flip side of that coin would be that
because you have other souls on board (family members no-less), you should be extra prepared, aware, and diligent to get them on the ground safely.
I can't imagine how the family member at the cancer center must be feeling now...
