Like most news stories, this one leaves unanswered questions. Did the pilot
survive the crash and die of exposure, for instance, or was he killed in the
landing? If he was killed in the landing then the parachute is obviously not
the answer to every problem.

CA - Downed Pilot Found
(Placer County, CA) -- Search crews found the body of a pilot
near the Sugar Bowl ski area this morning. Air traffic controllers
got a call from the pilot last night. He said his wings were icing
over and he was going down over a rugged area around Soda
Springs. Early this morning a snow-groomer at Sugar Bowl said
he found parts of an aircraft and a parachute. Placer County
Sheriff's officials said a debris field was found crossing the ski
runs. Greg Murtha with Sugar Bowl says the area where the
plane went down was ill-suited for an successful emergency landing.
The plane disappeared from radar after leaving the Reno airport
heading for the Bay Area. It was a four-seater Sirrus. Authorities
believe the pilot was the only person on board.
