The accident occurred in a busy flight training area over the Everglades near the Broward-Palm Beach county line.

On Oct. 27, Arjun Chhikara, 18, and his flight instructor from Kemper Aviation, Anders Selberg, 46, were killed when their single-engine Piper Archer had engine problems and crashed on a golf course near Boynton Beach. A third occupant, also a student pilot from India, survived.
And this relates to the topic of the article how?

Oh, ok, I get it. Its just the media doing what they do best, sensationalizing.
