Within in minutes of this 11:30am accident, Dan Parks was advising us of the situation allowing us to give updates to our Facebook followers in real time prior to news stations. Neighbors watching out for each other is our theme and we thank those who contributed to this information. Reports say the landing gear had just come down when the tail of the plane came off, causing the aircraft to flip upside down on the runway. As the plane was landing the fuel tanks were not full. As updates come out, more accurate information will be posted. Latest reports say 2 confirmed dead yet we will wait for official updates. A youtube video was captured as this plane was on fire
