DCA Loses a Cirrus and two aboard.

Just commuted home and turned on the local radio to this news:
Plane crash in Volusia takes two lives - WDBO Local News on wdbo.com

I went to the open house when they opened the new training facility and showcased all the new Cirrus aircraft & sims. I wonder if the BRS (chute) is standard on all Cirrus airplanes, or if it's just an option.

May God comfort their loved ones.
