Just looked this up. It was a Canada registered plane. There was audio of the controller and the pilot. The tail number was C-FBWH. I wasn't able to see any registration information since it is a Canadian registered plane. He sounded middle eastern to me. Totally avoidable and he was either an inexperienced pilot and panicked, or there is more to this story. I have personally been in a small plane, capable of carrying 5 people and had an engine out about 20 years ago. I was able to put it down in a field and walked away to fly again another day. There are always options if you are on top of your situational awareness. Now, if this was a Jet, or Turbo Prop, that would be a little different situation, but not a single engine piston aircraft IMO.
