The just treat thems as news when they become available,
but well before that they'll post details on the accident,
such as a/c type, registry, occupant list, and what, if
anything, is known about the mishap.

Re: Where are you? I'm at Central and Lovers.

Just outside Oaklawn Park in Corsicana.

For those without access to Dallas maps, Love Field is about 8 miles due south of Addison Airport. It looks like the crash was a couple of miles east of the North/South line between the airports.
