The collision is violent. The wing of the airbus rips open the cockpit of the smaller plane, jet fuel pours out. Brian LaCroix of Allina Medical is part of a team of Twin Cities emergency personnel who have created a plan to deal with this type of crash. "It had to be horrifying to be in that cockpit," said Brian LaCroix. A single spark could have created a fireball.

Umm...jet fuel is not stored in the cockpit. Stupid TV news people...

I could be wrong, but what I gathered from the commentary and the video was that the cockpit was ripped open and jet fuel was pouring in from the torn wing. If that is the case, then it would be pretty horrifying in that cockpit.

Torn open fuel cell sitting over a torn open cockpit equals a potentially ugly issue in that cockpit.
