I'm a little morbid and sick or maybe just practical, I think. My first thought (after "how's Joe doing?") was, "They were so close. I'm glad they died together, so that none has to suffer the loss of the other."
To be honest, I don't want to die too young, period, and I wouldn't want to die just because my life partner had died. I'd want to go on, go through the grief, and celebrate my partner for the rest of my life.
But part of me is glad that neither had to miss the other.

Me too.
I can never really predict how people will react to the death of a spouse: my whole family pretty much expected my grandmother to fold up and wither away after my grandfather's death, and she's still going strong many years later. Still, one thing I do know is that it's never easy.
On a separate note, I'm also morbidly interested in the accident details, as a pilot. (I can't get the audio stuff people have been linking to.)
