+1 on the finding of the aircraft bringing closure to the family. They said the impact was not survivable but if the plane had crashed another way allowing Steve to get out of it, Steve would have done his best to survive that situation. Steve is a true survivor and the story will probably unfold more based on the impact damages as to how the crash occurred. He was a very strong pioneer to the aviation community and I kinda wished I could have met him years back when he brought his air balloon for helium testing at my old job, I was on nights and he came in on days. I've heard nothing but good things from my friends that met him and that's why I believed if he could have made it out of that crash, he would still be here to day. He was a true great survivor.
