This accident is getting stranger and stranger. Occam's Razor would say that there was a mid-air between the Legacy and the 737, if the planes were in the same area and the Legacy had to make an emergency landing shortly after the 737 crashed. But for the smaller plane to survive a collision and the larger one (by a factor of three) to not, is very odd. Not impossible, but odd.

The Legacy getting hit by debris from sort of explosion onboard the 737 would be almost impossible. That's hitting a bullet with a bullet; normal rules for separation are 1,000 feet vertically and (I think) three miles laterally.

Per Airliners.net

"NYT reporter and columnist Joe Sharkey was one of the passangers onboard the Legacy." (the smaller plane)
