My son tried to do an emergency landing, but there was nothing but dense forest ahead during this night time takeoff. It appears the only option, in my opinion, was to try to turn back to the airport. He didn't have enough altitude to do that. I am glad I finally found out what happened and that it was not his fault. The NTSB report is highly inaccurate. I can only hope we get some justice. I don't want to go into anymore detail, but I don't know how those responsible are able to sleep at night.
