Sounds like he might have lost power to an engine, lost airspeed and tried
to pull up (from the eyewitness account I read).  Ironically, I watched a
"Travel Channel" program just last night on the probable causes of certain
plane crashes.  One crash had similar circumstances.  Still, air travel is
by far the safest.

It was a twin turboprop.  It took off, then stalled.  The plane then
rolled over on its back and crashed while still inverted.

All I know is what I read on MSNBCnews.com: it failed to take off, and
crashed, leaving no survivors.  *shudder* That was the airline that I
travelled on from Greensboro to Philly and back, on their Metro jets
(which
was not the aircraft that crashed).
