    Rosario, the student, managed to land the plane safely despite being in “complete shock,” he added. The plane was undamaged, Álvarez said.

    Who fucking cares about the plane???

        My point is that they stated the student was fine. They then had to talk about potential property damage. The student’s life is the ONLY thing that should matter.

            It also clears up that the pilot didn’t bail due to damage or sabotage the plane to also kill the student.

          It actually does matter. The student could have been perfectly fine after a hard landing in a corn field that broke its landing gear and fucked up the engine. Or the student could have made a perfect landing back at the airport. Big difference in how well the student handled an extremely difficult situation.
