Just going off what the news was reporting.
I hate hearing someone died in a crash.
Aside from that I did find the irony interesting.

Oh, absolutely. But I look at it from the perspective of myself. If I ball one up into a training center, I fully expect one of you bastards to appreciate the irony. I promise not to be offended at all.

I was listening the the police/fire scanner in the area shortly after it happened. The firemen were in the building searching and radioed back saying there was 3 victims in one of the simulators... I can't even begin to imagine how to visualize what it looked like in that building. RIP

That would be so terrible to be thinking you're in the safest environment possible in aviation only to have something like that happen. There but for the grace of god go we.

Who could've predicted dying of a plane crash while in the box ?

If I remember right I think the encore sim may have been the nearest to that corner.

Nothing wrong with making a turn into a bad engine; one just needs to be careful and mindful in how they do it.

A nasty little surprise that exists in King Airs is the Unscheduled Torque scenario, which can be worse than losing an engine because auto-feather won't help the pilot and it can be misread. (I'm not saying that's what happened here)
A loss of thrust in an engine should be verified and the cause determined. The 200 is pretty docile on one engine if its light and I agree 100% with the "do nothing until at safe altitude" opinion. Fly the thing straight ahead and figure out exactly what the problem is before doing anything rash. However an unscheduled torque may be difficult to figure out in the heat of the moment...
Sad to hear of this crash, RIP to the fallen

The runaway torque scenario is what gave me the most trouble in my sim training a couple weeks ago... Safe to say I'll remember how to handle that one much better.

Yup, even the Pre- B200's had that. You could let go an do nothing and it will fly itself away just fine.
Kind of like the how do you get out of a spin in a 172... let the F go!

For which? The BE20 will climb away amusing it's trimmed for T/O. The 172 won't even enter a spin without the pilot making it. You'd loose like 100ft if you let go in the incipient phase.
The pilot of the aircraft was Mark Goldstein. He was a Navy Veteran who retired last year from Wichita ATCT/TRACON. He was performing a test flight on a 1999 B200 that had been recently inspected.
Mark was the recipient of NATCA's Archie League Medal of Safety award in both 2004 and 2005.
I am absolutely stunned by this tragedy and loss.
My thoughts go out to all friends and family of the victims of this accident.
