Light on the crash, heavy on the fiery

Everything Went ‘Whoosh’ and a Friend, Lighting PCP, Died

“Her hat started catching on fire,” Ms. Ortiz said. “Everything just went ‘whoosh.’ All I saw was yellow and red flames.... Firefighters arrived. “They told me later I could have taken off my coat and rolled her on the floor,” Ms. Ortiz said. “You just don’t think like that.”

Yeah, especially when being a crack head.

An F/A-18D Hornet Navy fighter jet crashed into an apartment complex near Virginia Beach, VA, sending fuel and debris flying and erupting into flames.

Both crew members - who ejected at the very last moment to avoid a nearby school - and five civilians on the ground are being treated at local hospitals.

The plane crashed shortly after takeoff.

An eyewitness to the plane crash, George Pilkington, said that within two or 300 yards of where the plane crashed, the aircraft emptied its jet fuel, with its nose up, and crashed into a building at the Mayfair Mews Apartments.

At least five buildings have been heavily damaged. AP is reporting the fire has been put out, and crews are going through the buildings to check for anyone who may have been injured.

22-year old Texas minister?s daughter is lone survivor of small plane crash that kills 4

A Texas minister's daughter is clinging to life in a Kansas hospital after surviving a plane crash that killed four of her friends, including an Iraq war veteran who dragged her to safety but later died of his injuries.

Hannah Luce, 22, and her friends were flying from Tulsa, Okla., to a Christian youth rally in Iowa aboard an eight-seat Cessna 401 plane on Friday afternoon when it crashed into a field in southeast Kansas, slammed into some trees and burst into flames, The Associated Press reported.

The pilot, Luke Sheets, 23, and two others Garrett Coble, 29, and 22-year-old Stephen Luth, died at the scene.

Austin Anderson, a 27-year-old former Marine who had served two tours in Iraq, suffered burns over 90% of his body in the crash but managed to pull Luce from the wreckage, authorities said. The pair then walked to a nearby road for help.

Anderson ultimately died at a hospital in Wichita.
