Bad accident at Houston Hobby KHOU
A Cessna Citation has just crashed at Houston Hobby (KHOU) airport. First pictures look really, really bad. I cannot see how there could have been any survivors.
I am waiting for more details.
Edited with update;Apparently only two persons on board, at this time it is assumed it was the pilots only, (some Citations are approved for single pilot operations in the US) and it has been confirmed that they did not survive.
First report is that a Boeing 737 had declared an emergency and was on approach to the runway the Citation was on, for reasons unknown at this time as the Citation was attempting to vacate the runway for the 73 in distress it crashed. There are mixed reports that the Citation actually took-off and was in a tight turn when it crashed. The 73 was diverted to Houston International (KIAH) where it landed without incident. The name of the airline has not been released at this time.
