In the house was a 36 year-old mother of two tiny sons, a nurse. One son is still missing. The family had just moved there after the birth of the second son. Also in the house was a grandmother recently arrived from Korea. The father, a businessman, was at work. They were members of a Korean Methodist Church. The youngest son was just a couple months old.

Such a sad event. It looks like the pilot almost planted it in an uninhabitated area. I feel so awful for the mother children and grandmother killed so awfully without warning. I pray for those who will mourn them. I also feel awful for the pilot. He or she will carry a sadness forever - even if it was unavoidable. Lord bless them all.

Sorry I’m late to this thread. But I’ve written to the cable networks several times, PLEADING that they take those “lower thirds” away, especially when it’s a very visual scene they are reporting.

It is certainly unnerveing to see all that writing, which typically just states the obvious, when what we’d really like to see is what is going on on the scene.

Looks like three or four homes were totaled.

Damn good aiming there.

I wonder if one of the failed electronic hybrids that General Motors/Hughes Aircraft manufactured for our F/A18s and other military hardware ex. Amraam, Phoenix missles.

General Motors received a criminal and civil conviction in 1996 in Los Angeles, CA for faulty tesing and passing inferior military hardware.

And they have the audacity to put their hand out for our fn tax money? When they didn’t give a damn about our military jets crashing because of their criminal behaviour?

I have no idea...I’ll wait to hear what the NTSB and the military findings are. Could have been any number of things, including pilot error.

Since the pilot survived, I would expect this will help expedite the investigation into the cause.
