Small plane crashes into a home near Midway Airport

NTSB preliminary report states that the pilot elected to make left traffic while attempting to return to Midway. That was 3 left hand turns he made with a failed left engine. Isn't that just begging for a VMC roll? I don't get it.

Well Damn... they didnt waste time reassigning that flight number to another aero commander. The show must go on I guess..

For the media to get the facts right on this story would require practicing an ancient art that long ago fell into disuse and neglect... journalism.

I used to fly for this company several years ago and it was indeed a very old, Twin Piston, Aero Commander 500B or possibly U model aircraft. These aircraft fly really well on one engine however, I'm not going to do any "Monday morning Quarter Back" preaching. Here is a link to another article that is somewhat accurate in its details of the accident.

This is the kind of Aircraft that crashed according to the news report on Yahoo: Aero Commander 500 cargo jet. An Aero Commander 500 Jet?
I thought these were Piston Powered?

Small Plane Crashes Into Chicago Home

A small plane crashed into a Chicago home early this morning, with the pilot’s condition unknown and no one from the home believed to be injured, authorities said.

This article calls the plane a "turboprop" and the NY Daily News reported it as a small jet. It is an old piston powered Commander. Doesn't this lead you to severely question the efficacy of the press.
