Plane just went down in my town! Should I go take a look?!

[CZroe]

After starting this post, I see it's already on MSN.com

Not something you see everyday but there is a good chance you would just get in the way and add to the confusion at or near the site...

Well, they're saying it's a huge debris field so there's not much they could do. I was thinking "huge plane, need help" kinda thing before the MSN article because details were not available.

:camera:'s!!

Seriously though, if emergency personnel are already there, you can go take a look or something, just make sure you dont get in the way.

Stay outta their way IMHO.

Its a kingair....if it hit hard there wont be much to see.

Heard there were only two people on board(co-pilot and pilot) it appears it was a cargo plane.

Doesn't look like they're even looking into it much yet

Disintegrated, nothing left but pieces. The foggy, cold weather must have had something to do with it.

It's not "uncomfortably" bad: I had just gotten in from a brisk 3 mile after-dark walk for leisure.

Edit: Oh yeah, you're local. Don't need to explain it to you

 

[matt426malm]

how close?

 

[CZroe]

About three to eight miles I'm not sure.

Find out where it is first . I say go look. I'm a pilot and there is a small plane crash at my airport about once a month (it is one of the 30th busiest airports in the nation going off # of operations) and I always try to get a look at it. Good reminder to not F-up while flying.

 

[CZroe]

Well, I'm near the #1 busiest airport in the world (Hartsfield-Jackson), but that wasn't the one Not many small prop-planes or private jets get to use Hartsfield

See my airport is in the top 30 completely from small planes, mostly flight training, and when you have that many training operations you get a lot of accidents. There was a time (while I was training) that we had a crash on the first day of every month for like 7 months in a row (plus some in the middle of the months), most were minor, though.
