Lancair crash at KPDX. One dead.

My guess on the part 91 ops vs 135/121 question is. By the FAA forbidding the 121/135 crews from attempting  an approach if visibility is below minimums it keeps the pilots employers from forcing them to attempt an approach. ie. "what are you checking the weather for, you're still going!"

The reworked audio is chilling, my thoughts and prayers are with the pilots family.

A few things to consider:

Take offs are optional, landings are mandatory.

Don't try to armchair quarterback what happened let the NTSB figure it out before you pass judgment.

Most fatal accidents that occur  while operating under IFR happen to pilots who have less than 100hrs of actual experience, so be careful.

that was truly bone chilling to listen to.  Its never good to hear about any sort of aircraft crash and to hear the adiou seconds before is hard...

I'm not going to speculate on this either, but I did take the liberty to enhance his audio msg by adding a little echo and looping it. To me, it sounds like:

"...alright,,,?hit Richard...you're gonna craaash!"

After listening to both clips a couple times, I interpret it to be a little different.  Here's my take on the situation:
Controller gave missed approach instructions after aircraft had already inpacted the ground.  It sounds like he may have been in pretty bad shape when he responded:
"I can't turn <expletive> you've gotta crash!"

Anyone else hearing it this way?

I hear it like that too
