Citation Crash In Houston Texas!!
News from CNN states that a Cessna Citation crashed in Houston after being told to make a quick departure due to a 737 having a problem. Both persons onboard were killed.

Story from Fox news in Houston.

Why didn't they delay him instead of rushing him??

Yet another one at the same airport (Hobby, Houston) this time a Piper, 2 fatalities hit a overhead cable on approach. Not a good week for Hobby.
