It's an unusual situation in that the fatality was the instructor. I'm sure this will cause many instructors to re-evaluate. The student driver survived.
At first I thought not to post the link here until I realized that would be a form of denial. We all know abstractly the risks of DE, racing, leaving your house, but talking about them in light of situations like this is important.
Our club experienced the same situation a few years back of course. At the time I don't think any of us was really prepared to deal with the situation and we all went into a state of shock. Shock, denial, minimization, blame, all normal reactions but we dealt with them individually instead of as a group.
