911 Center received a call from a witness reporting a possible aircraft crash. Several minutes later a second call from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was received who reported a distress beacon in the same general location.
If this "distress beacon" was a 406 MHz ELT, set-off by its G switch, then this an exceptionally good turnaround time. Unfortunately, in this case, of no help to the pax who would have died on impact.
