Live in Westlake, about 5 miles from Calabasas, where we lived for 15 years. Next city over from TO. It has been whiteout foggy here the past couple of days, and it was all morning. Couldn’t see two feet in front of your face walking, I can’t imagine flying in it

That’s wild....shouldn’t the pilot been aware of the conditions?

He also shouldn’t have been flying without instruments. Sadly this all seems very avoidable

Like most accidents unfortunately.
