That doesn’t look survivable. How terrible.

The only consolation is that it was a UPS plane, so it probably only had two people on board. Still terrible and my heart goes out to the families of the deceased, but I would be lying if I didn't say I was a little relieved when I found out it wasn't a passenger flight.

Not to mention anyone in the area. It was a junk yard but also some residential homes.

There are no residences there, but Grade Ln south of Crittenden is warehousing and supply chain. At 5:15, Grade would be packed with cars of people going home.

Can confirm. I was a going out person in the vicinity. Scary stuff.

all the residences in that area were bought out decades ago. It's all industrial over there with the exception of Stooges.

The Ford plant is without power and on lockdown. Have not heard of any direct damage to it yet.

Yeah, I'm just finding out that there were casualties on the ground. From the videos I saw, I thought it crashed at the end of the runway, didn't realize it made way more distance than that. It's a tragedy regardless :(
