This story is developing; watch for updates.
I sure hope there are survivors, though am curious as to what went wrong
KPATL – we can only hope that you are the solo pilot next time, you moron
I dont think dis is an al-qaeda attack
Ever since 9/11, accidents miraculously stopped happening... this could only be terrorism
you're being sarcastic, righht? small plane crashes (accidents) have certainly not stopped happening
Wow what an ignorant statement!!
Looks like some people left their sarcasm detectors at home today
Worlds mean what they mean and on the net voice intonation does not help much. It may have been sarcasm but we were never warned. Now that you mentioned though ....
what a stupid thing to say! crashes happen all the time, unfortunately. here in Michigan, there was a plane that crashed off the western side of the state, into Lake Michigan. 4 innocent people were killed. tell their families that crashes don't happen.
Oh my God. Wow. What are the odds. I'm glad the family got out unharmed. Unbelievable!
"What are the odds?" Planes fly over my house all the time. Seriously, look up once in a while.
CNN please hire me as your Spell Checker. Whoever is doing it now is horrible.
not too many people care about typos, so long as we can read the story. give it a rest. CNN employees are human just like the rest of us. in the grand scheme of things, spelling is not that big of a deal.
People who care that they are getting the correct news care about typos. If the writer of the story can't get the simple things right, how can we believe the other facts of the story? Their JOB is communication. They should be able to do it properly.
I wouldn't say it's necessarily terrorism. This article caught my attention because 24 years ago, this month, my husband was a corporate pilot and was flying out of Pittsburgh Intl. He lost oil pressure and, unfortunately, was not able to make it to a nearby airport or back to Pitt and crashed into a residential neighborhood. He and another coworker survived the crash, although, badly injured, but 2 others did die who were in the plane, also. My heartfelt prayers go out to the families involved in this.
what`s with all these crashes ? who`s flying these planes?
Rich Doctors and lawyers who are not trained to the same standard as commercial pilots yet they fly high performance or high complex aircraft. Just look at the amount of crashed of the Cirrus SR20/SR22.
Al Qaeda hates that house!
BUSH'S BAD KARMA IS STILL HANGING AROUND....!
And people think flying cars are a good idea?
Jim, if it had been a flying car the pilot could have landed it on the street as long as the traffic light was not red (yuck).
Wow a Direct hit! Could this be a disgruntled taxpayer or domestic violence issue?
Derk derka
Crap, that's 10 miles from where I grew up
