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.
