I heard he did have an instrument rating so yeah I wonder why, when he got into the shyte, he didn't just pull power, climb and call ATC. Surely he would have a GPS in there that could steer him away from higher terrain as he climbed. Perhaps he didn't have a lot of IMC experience and was therefore hesitant.

Pretty incredible book. That, with the Ken Burns documentary, made me feel like I understand that war.
Sorry, forgot about the auto-censor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobe_Bryant_sexual_assault_case"It was consensual!"The charges were dropped when the accuser wouldn't testify, and later on she ended up getting a big cheque from Kobe. -k
Not quite.Her civil suit demanded an apology from Bryant, and she got it, sort of:"I also want to make it clear that I do not question the motivesof this young woman. No money has been paid to this woman. She hasagreed that this statement will not be used against me in the civilcase. Although I truly believe this encounter between us wasconsensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view thisincident the same way I did. After months of reviewing discovery,listening to her attorney, and even her testimony in person, I nowunderstand how she feels that she did not consent to thisencounter.
Civil caseIn August 2004, the accuser filed a civil lawsuit against Bryant over the incident.[22] In March 2005, the two parties settled that lawsuit. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed to the public.[23] The Los Angeles Times reported that legal experts estimated the settlement was more than $2.5 million.[24]
Also she was an editorialist more than a journalist...
Christy Blatchford.Agree with her or not, that was a real journalist.
And what to make of that astonishing letter, widely hailed as Mr. Layton’s magnificent from-the-grave cri de coeur?...Rather, it’s remarkable because it shows what a canny, relentless, thoroughly ambitious fellow Mr. Layton was. Even on Saturday, two days before he died, he managed to keep a gimlet eye on all the campaigns to come.The letter is full of such sophistry as “We can restore our good name in the world,” as though it is a given Canada has somehow lost that, bumper-sticker slogans of the “love is better than anger” ilk and ruthlessly partisan politicking (“You decided that the way to replace Canada’s Conservative federal government with something better was by working together with progressive-minded Canadians across the country,” he said in the section meant for Quebecers).The letter is vainglorious too.Who thinks to leave a 1,000-word missive meant for public consumption and released by his family and the party mid-day, happily just as Mr. [Evan] Solomon and his fellows were in danger of running out of pap? Who seriously writes of himself, “All my life I have worked to make things better”
