MSNBC is reporting all killed. So sad. There are no large pieces of the aircraft visible.

Not a good way to start the new year for sure.

People don't realize how dangerous the commuter flights are, relatively.

Here is a story about commuter airlines: In Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, there is a small airport that is the major connection point for people travelling from San Juan (North Central part of island) to the South West part. Everyone who takes that flight calls it 'The White-Knucler out of San Juan.' There is T-boomer activity every day in PR, and one time an American Eagle commuter flight crashed and burned.

So, when the media started showing up to film the wreckage, an employee from the ticket counter calmly went out to the plane and started spray painting over the airline logo with plack paint....

I drove from San Juan to Mayaguez from then on...

Folks, take time to say a little prayer for the families of the folks killed on this plane, only take a couple of minutes. Thanks.
