May those who perished RIP, and those injured recover quickly.

Flew the same routes in C-207s 30 years ago.
No margin for error in those conditions.

The survivors should be able to report on the probable cause, no black boxes in a Caravan...?

I think it was BET-MOU-KSM. Routing changes frequently depending on the loads, but almost everyone on board was from MOU.

Reports from that route on that day indicate otherwise.
