The fog looks like it’s to the ground. I fly an airplane as a hobby. Unless you’re a professional pilot, landing and flying in that weather is EXTREMELY dangerous. Without a horizon as reference it is exceedingly easy to lose all spatial orientation and put it into the ground.
This is the same weather conditions that JFK junior flew into and killed him.....

sad

My guess is they realized they lacked altitude too late and tried to gain it over and above what the Sikorsky could handle, stressing the machine. Some people say that they heard breaking up prior to the crash, of course, that could be incorrect

Wasn't JFK Jr. not instrument rated and flew into darkness?
