What’s Chris Plant’s little bro doing on channel 10? Isn’t he on 51?

I didn’t know he had a bro here. I usually watch the local NBC news.
Oh barf, Lightner on TV now

Very sad.
Can happen almost anywhere.
Reminded of the crash of a small private plane on the Oregon coast not long ago.
Hit a house that was being used for a family reunion and there were several fatalities.

yeah Dan Plante ... does the morning babbling on KUSI early show. Talks too much and is a little too gushy.

Chris got all the brains.

Once it isn't flying anymore there's no purpose in making the pilot die in the crash.

Exactly. You can bet this pilot's going to get the debriefing of a lifetime. Knowledge may be gained to help other pilots avoid such occurances in the future.

If the plane's no longer controllable, why take that information to the grave?

Now reported that two people are missing, not one, in addition to the two dead.

You might want to take it up with those reporting the story if you have a disagreement here.

They’re saying on local news it was a grandparent and grandchild in one home - one station saying grandmother and grandchild (KOGO on Roger Hedgecock’s show)

They’re also saying potentially two missing in the house next door, but are also getting conflicting reports it was vacant. That house is still not totally out fire wise, and a lift thing of some sort is being brought in to raise a collapsed wall (debris on it maybe?) so they can check for occupants and whether either of those possible other two are missing.

They also said Uni High was on lockdown initially because of fumes, then because many reports said that the pilot actually landed on the baseball field there and so there was some sort of response by crews, etc. there. Obviously that report was countered by the ones that had come out initially (which seem to be the correct ones) saying he was in a tree.

Even if it isn't pilot error....this has to be their worse nightmare of things going wrong.
