Another sad story. The pilot and his wife had posted pictures on here.

I read this story on CNN.com earlier. Apparently, the ATC instructed the pilot to turn one way, but he turned the other and flew directly into the weather. FAA and NTSB will have to investigate and issue their report. It's tragic regardless of the findings.

"...the pilot had spoken to air traffic control at Forth Worth after getting into bad weather and was told to take a specific course, but flew in the opposite direction..."

Tragic.

Wow, that looked like a real nasty squall, dangerous to try and go through it. Looked like there were minor deviations, but did not go around the storm. My guess is that he was low on fuel, no choice of alternates.

Oh, it was a PA32, that would explain it.

The most severe weather was not in that part of the state, but it was plenty severe enough.
