Typical work by the NTSB: blame it on the pilot. Singles without power for
whatever reason do not "plunge".....they glide. Denver was an experienced
pilot. Even a raw one could do better than that. I must have been stupid
for thinking the NTSB might look beyond the superficial in the search for the
truth.
