I was not a big fan in the sense that I don't follow racing all that much, but, Greg Biffle was a good guy. The below vid about his help to many people after Helene had just been posted:

Incredibly ironic title... :-(

Prayers for the rest of his family, friends, fans, and co-workers. Rest In Peace, Sir!

I canโ€™t find any information as to how the plane crashed. Whether he was taking off or landing or what so if anyone has any information, I would appreciate it.

Putting together reports from Twitter: They took off normally, tried to get into their flight path, 180 turn back to airport, oddly did not attempt direct approach from the west after the 180, but instead flew the length of the airport to do a hard figure-8 to come back at the runway from the east (wtf), and obviously ran low on speed+altitude; then on approach at a near-impossible angle, dropped across a golf course short of the runway; skid-plowed across a two-lane road (there is video of the just-after on Twitter), through the airport fence and then finally where the jet came to a stop in the middle of the airport.

Ceilings were terrible, yet feels like pilot error.

He thought he could only turn the plane left.

(too soon?)

Sad news. When NASCAR was in its hay-day (for me anyways) he was one of my favorites.

Mods, is (was) this sort of article not considered Breaking News and if not, why not? It appears to have disappeared from the sidebar while I was hunkered down in our shelter. (Tornado warning)

What category should it be?

Thanks for any clarification.

The NTSB is scheduled to hold a presser at 3PM local time today.

Here’s a link to an NC TV station, WCNC, that is going to livestream the presser...
