This one happened almost in my back yard, literally. Less than a half mile, from their departure point to the accident site, the route of flight would have been right over our house. I did not hear the accident for a couple of reason, one I was sound asleep and secondly our house is so well insulated we cannot hardly hear anything from inside the house. I never heard any of the emergency equipment responding to the scene, but the local news helicopters did finally wake me up just after sunrise.

Sad event for sure. I have not bothered to go to the site and will not do so, seen enough accident sites in my life/career.

Two fatal, one survivor, no report on how serious the survivor is injured.
