I've spent a decent amount of time at Centennial; it's one of the busiest general aviation airports in the country. There's a great restaurant on site that you can watch the runways from. After this incident, the restaurant is probably as close as I'd get to a Cirrus. :)

I don't see how this incident would make or break your impression of the Cirrus.

From the picture, the plane at rest is pretty messed up, but all occupants are safe, and pending investigation, there doesn't seem to be a sign of mechanical error involved.

Flying in (or near) small planes has a lot of risk, but I don't see how this incident would change your impression of this one manufacturer's planes.

Oh no, my point was just that I’d be wary of getting in a small plane, and Cirrus was the craft mentioned in the article. I remember seeing a lot of them at this airport (though they’re probably outnumbered by Cesna’s, lots of small-time fliers there).

It's really close to the city too.

I'm sure the chances of a collision outside of the airport is absolutely basically zero, but these small planes fly really low over my house and the downtown area all the time. They get pretty low and close for touring over the big buildings for photos and stuff, see photos on reddit all the time..
