PA-32 Down South of Houston

Yes I'm familiar with Operation Gasbuggy and the other two - Rulison and Rio Blanco. That's what was running through my mind when I made my hyperbolic point about the media's ineptitude in describing HF.

Why do you think that is materially similar to hydraulic fracturing - Henning's silliness aside?

Read the reports, not the wikipedia crap. Fractures in the rock were created so that part is fracturing. Okay, most of the permeability was destroyed by various mechanisms but that is beside the point.

Now that the press has been sufficiently bashed (no fan here, but thought the live reporting was as good as we can expect) does anyone have any info as to what the heck happened?

"No fire" certainly leads to the easy to jump to conclusion of fuel exhaustion and the wreckage all in one neat pile seems to follow the stall spin behavior. Anyone have any actual facts or know these poor guys?

Likely instructional flight. The "passenger" was known to me to be a CFI for a side job.
 
Just figured out today that the CFI was a friend...Ferried my Arrow from Ohio a couple of years back...had with him lunch as a group a couple of times a year....while I was leaning against his aircraft in the hanger today, another friend, figured out I did not know...told me Robert was dead...I as caught up trying to go to Oshkosh so I was out of the loop...they suspect some sort of stab control failure...but who knows...today sucks....

Terrible news. I do know that the PA-32 has a recurring AD for cable linkages for the stab. Wonder if that has something to do with it?
