A really sad event considering all the good that was done by family.
In accidents of this type, inflight breakup, it is almost always due to:
1. Weather in the form of thunderstorms or severe turbulence, or
2. Pilot disorientation/vertigo that results in high "g" loads that exceed the airplane design parameters.
A large fully developed thunderstorm has the power to destroy any airplane made.
Low experienced or non-current pilots in high performance airplanes have the potential to become disoriented in low visibility conditions. They typically end up entering a steep spiral and then incurring high load factors trying to recover. This can cause structural failure including wings and control surfaces separating from the aircraft. This is what happened in the JKF Jr. accident
