The Cirrus SR20 was manufactured in 2002 and purchased earlier this year, Hersman said. The small aircraft has four seats and is equipped with a parachute designed to let it float to earth in case of a mishap. The parachute apparently did not engage after the crash.

AFTER the crash? Yeah, that would help a lot! I see something out of a Road Runner cartoon--Wile E. Coyote jumps off a cliff, frantically pulling a rip cord... then just after he smacks into the bottom of the canyon.... POOF! There comes the chute.
