Small plane has crashed into a building in Austin, Texas

I wouldn't be surprised if there was more than just himself in that plane...

Doubt it. If there was they would have said something already.

Seemed like a lot of damage for such a little plane, but I wouldn't be surprised if that could just be chalked up to lax building codes in Texas.

Initially when I saw the first pictures I couldnt beleive an airplane of that size had done what it did. The fire just looked too intense to be an AvGas fueled fire to me. When they said single engine I than started thinking maybe a PC12 or a Piper "jetprop" or somthing along those line.

Another piece of crap loser blaming everyone else for their problems. Thankfully his plans went south and only he died in the crash. Good riddance.

They found two bodies, one of them being the pilot, the other probably an employee in the building. Some others were badly hurt.

This could have been advoided in many ways. But the IRS can definitly go about this in better ways.

So....... Does this still mean I'll get my refund on-time??

How could the IRS have handled this better? If you cater to an emotionally disturbed person, you will only encourage more irrational behavior. The guy was clearly EDP and it was only a matter of time before he took his aggression out on someone. The only way to have avoided this was to find him and collar him up, but IMO, it would have only delayed an inevitableaction. It's a shame that an innocent person died and others were hurt, but in the EDP's case, it's addition by subtraction.

They can go about collecting their money in a better way then harassing you constantly.

They don't harrass you. They'll either audit you or just throw your ass in lockup. The guy was pissed because he tried to cheat the system repeatedly and got caught repeatedly. Here's an easy tip to avoid legal trouble, be it with the IRS or in general, don't break the law. And especially don't be pissed that you got caught. He had nobody to blame but himself and in his delusion, refused to do so.

couldn't agree with you more! the only tragedy here is that this moron used GA as his escape, not caring about the possible repurcussions it'll have on the remainder of the industry. too bad he died, i'd much rather see him have suffered for his actions and mistakes! :twisted:

Getting cooked by an AvGas fire isnt exactly an enjoyable experince I would imagine if he made it through the initial impact. I however do agree with the concern you have over GA rammifications from here on in for the rest. I am suprised at AOPA's relative silence thus so far on this crash.
