There hasn’t been a major commercial aviation crash in 15 years. Meanwhile, there’s hundreds of small-plane crashes in the U.S. every year. That’s the risk you take when flying a private aircraft. It’s way less regulated compared to commercial aviation.
As someone who is currently pursuing his PPL I can tell you “private” is heavily regulated. Pickup a FAR on Amazon and see for yourself.
Something like 90% of the fatal mishaps in small aircraft are due to avoidable mistakes by the pilot.
I’ll wait for the report before passing judgement but aircraft simply do not break up in the air without being pushed beyond their structural design

Don’t you think this has something to do with the fact that PPLs aren’t that difficult to attain and are under-regulated?
Case and point: Jenny Blalock was a YouTube personality who had a PPL yet had absolutely no idea what she was doing while flying. She died in a crash in Tennessee several months ago due to her incompetence. She only had like 500 hours of flying under her belt and still got her PPL. Look her up on YouTube: TNflygirl.
