The Spin


The skydiving plane silently fell from the sky, with no fire, no explosion — just a sudden engine cutout and a straight plunge down. Record heat had just hit the region, and whether that played a role remains an open question that investigators haven'tmust answeredaddress.

France's Bureau d'Enquêtes et d'Analyses is already on the ground investigating the precise circumstances of this tragedy. The swift mobilization of rescue services and elected officials shows the government taking this seriously from the start. Grieving families deserve a full accounting, and the investigation underway is the right path to getting it.
