FAA: no evidence of plane crash in southeast Ky.

Maybe this thread should be deleted all together. Seems to be a bs after all.

Military and federal officials say reports of a possible plane crash in southeastern Kentucky turned out to be false. The incorrect reports sent dozens of rescue workers scrambling this afternoon.

The Air Force and Federal Aviation Administration say all aircraft were present and accounted for despite numerous reports of a low-flying plane in Knox County, near the Tennessee border.

Rescue workers with the Knox County sheriff's department were called off around seven pm eastern time. That was about three hours after reports of a plane crashing near Kentucky Highway 459.

Knox County sheriff's dispatch supervisor Denise Crawford said the department had received several reports of a plane down and smoke in a wooded area. Fire and law enforcement officers headed to the scene but didn't find anything.
