Density altitude

Enviado
 
Although the NTSB hasn't determined the cause yet, it appears density altitude caused another fatal crash at Lake Tahoe today. Always check weight & balance and DENSITY ALTITUDE before departing a high altitude airport. The combination of high temperatures & high altitude turn many 4 seat aircraft into 2 passenger aircraft. This type of accident is a common occurrence most summers at Lake Tahoe. (RGJ.com) Más...

The prop doesn't appear to be bent, I wonder if the engine was turning at impact. Maybe this wasn't Density Altitude?
