Bonanza fatal crash. Tragic loss of our friends.

We lost our two friends (neighbors) in a 1959 K35 Bonanza. Unlike the TNflygirl Jenny Blalock crash these types of crashes are much scarier if you fly. Risk awareness & management, how do you look at it? Questions for you.
1-Would you have done anything different if you were in the left seat? (Tim)
2-Would you have done anything different if you were in the right seat? (Ken)
3-Would you have said anything to Tim or Ken after helping push out the airplane if you were me? (Jeff)
