BN: Plane crash in Midway, Utah.

[Beau]

A plane just crashed into Memorial Hill in Midway. My grandma just called telling me about it (basically in her backyard). All I know is that it was a Russian YAK training plane. Might be fatal

Big news for my little town.

Edit: Radio just said it was fatal He was a friend of my brother's.

Edit 2: According to my bro, who was just interviewed on the crash site as a rep for the airport, there are now two confirmed dead. The plane reportedly exploded into flames mid air and fell to the ground burning. Both passengers, pilot and copilot, and most of the plane have been incinerated. This is horrible

"Memorial Hill", kind of ironic.

lucky they landed on a hill rather than a house ... at least

Very sad. But, as was said, they avoided crashing into houses or schools or hospitals, so...at least there's some good news.
