-Plane was a Zenith CH701SP flown by a non- instrument rated Sport Pilot.
-Crashed 4:15AM in a nose down attitude, 2 fatally injured.

I'm not making judgements but I think all of us here know what happened. The only remaining questions are WHY would you leave the ground in darkness and IMC prevailing? Do you think this Sport Pilot ever had a chance of becoming a safer pilot?
Thank you for the update on this. Now I must ask, why. Why would anyone do this? Some people have a death wish I guess. Un freaking believable.
Thanks again.
