Call me crazy, but since when do ELT's "fall off"? All of the planes I've ever flown in have the ELT inside the fuselage. Gotta love news reporters.
Back on subject though, it is very sad to hear about this. It sucks any time someone dies in a plane crash, but it always bothers me more when they are young. May God be with that family.
