JBean, have you heard from your family yet?
Prayers to all there tonight, and for those who have passed!
 
You can clearly see the tail of the plane in vid.
 
Flames are out. Moved everyone away. Moving bodies now. Father Jo is taking care of families.
 
I wonder what brought this plane down? ATC was talking to them, then suddenly no reponse.
 
Safety of this aircraft has been very good.

It was too late to call but there is no way I wouldn't have heard something by now.
 
No stress. Femaile pilot confirmed flight. ATC then got no further response. Ground witness said plane was behaving irratic then saw a flash.

ETA: ground witness initially thought it was a helicopter.....huh? that is irratic.
