If you're feeling ambitious, and rich, and you know a mate who specialises in the aerostructures of rare Russian amphibians, then you're about $125,000 and a mouse-click away from a fairly good dinner-party story.
Those of you whose pay grade remains an obstacle to such eccentric hobbies will just have to be satisfied with reading the NTSB findings and watching the video of the accident. Not too gleefully, please.
