Their motive was clear to me, and everyone that their intention was to get us past lunch, so they could get paid for a full day. Their is no way you can tell me that leaving immidiately once the snow started was not in the best interest of the students. Waiting another hour after the snow had started to dismiss, was in their best interest. In my eyes, the students safety should be the number one
The left Engine nacelle showed evidence of vertical dark residue marks or soot trails. The prop was intact, the tips were bent backwards and showed very little sign of trailing edge compression. This possibly indicates that the engine was not running during the time of impact. It was also discovered that the fuel line support bracket showed propagation cracks along the bolt holes that connect it to the firewall. It did not separate from the firewall, and the fuel line showed no signs of loss of integrity.

Speeding is defined as the act or an instance of driving, especially a motor vehicle, faster than is allowed by law. Speeding is often one component of aggressive driving which is defined as committing a combination of moving traffic offenses so as to endanger other persons or property. There are strong direct relationships between the speed at which we drive and the risk of crash involvement and the injuries sustained if a crash results. The probability of injury and the severity of those injuries increases exponentially with vehicle speed. Even small increases in speeds result in a large increase in the forces experienced by the vehicle occupants or other road users. Put simply, the faster you drive, the harder you hit and the more severe the injuries you or someone else are likely to suffer. Traveling over the speed limit can be especially dangerous in bad weather conditions. Speeding was a factor in 53 percent of fatal crashes that occurred when there was snow or slush on
