Scary. But I'm thinking if it was a single-engine plane, that makes any crash-into-Vagas-landmark scenario implausible.

Six people and a lot of fuel makes a heavy airplane.

Terribly written piece. What kind of illiterates are tv stations hiring these days?

College educated, affirmative actioned touchy-feelies who became "journalists" to "change the world", I'm sure.

Geez, disgraceful and haphazard writing.

I'm so happy I turned off the networks and the local stations they broadcast on over 10 years ago!

"NTSB investigators began surveying the plane crash from above. But spent most of the day in the 12-foot wash basin where the plane crashed in flames."

 

Where was NTSB?  12 feet above the crash on in an airplane 1000' above the crash.

It is either a 12' wash or a basin, but I can guarantee it isn't in a 12 foot wash basin.

Sounds like a classic case of overloading or failure to check proper balance to me.

Dec 19th I was returning from a trip in North Carolina. The guy I was sitting next to was an investigator from an aircraft engine manufacturer. A similar crash had just happened 2 days prior in the Raliegh area. It had all the possibilities of an overloaded aircraft. He mentioned he sees about 30 of these types of crashes a year.
