At least nobody was hurt. We’ve seen worse.

Dumb reporting as it was a modern T-6 Texan II turbo prop basic trainer on active Air Force duty. Some might think it was the old WWII trainer that you bail out of and not eject from.

The T-6 does not eject the crew. One must wear a parachute. In the event of a stall, one hears (or says) the word “Bail” three times. Then the “crew” (one or two people) unbuckle their seat belts, open the canopy, and JUMP, trying to stay as far from the aircraft as possible before pulling the ripcord.
Believe me. I know.

I live here. It is not 30 miles. More like 5 miles from Rolling Oaks Mall.
