Press conference is ongoing on all local news channels.
New information has all been released, getting repetitive now, devolving to media speculation, “Is this the last race”, etc.
Thanks... I’m all the way up in Wisconsin and girls are watching a DVD at the moment, but we usually don’t get a lot of live coverage.
The pilot’s name is so familiar to me, even though I am not “into” the aviation scene. I’m SURE I’ve read stories about him here at FR though. I AM interested in WWII and the like, so perhaps it was articles about him and his plane. Very tragic day... May he Rest in Peace.
As for the pilot’s age I’m sure the guy they quoted probably said something like “close to 80 years old” and in their rush to get a full story they just ran with that number...
I’m going to make an assumption that the number of deceased will likely increase over the next 24 hours - just due to the description of the scene itself. So sad...
