There are so many idiot pilot stories. I was working at SoCal Approach (Burbank Area, California) when a twin Cessna drilled it into the ground. The wife was onboard and knew that the weather was IFR at Van Nuys (world's busiest general aviation airport) and that he was a tool in the clouds.
So, she demanded that he land and let her off at Palmdale, California. He did. He (and another guy) died shortly thereafter do entirely to his own inability to fly in clouds.
