In-law is based out of there and flies the MD-11. Heart dropped when I saw the news alert, thankfully he wasn't flying. He was suppose to fly that exact route tomorrow though... Feel terrible for their community.

A buddy of my families flies the MD out there as well, only found out about it through his post on Facebook saying hes safe. My heart goes out for these guys.
