Heard second hand there may be some CCTV footage of the event.


The description was it was dark, not much of a view of the aircraft, maybe some sparks flying as the approach lights were hit. No other real details.


Again, second hand info, but wouldn't surprise me that some partial footage exists. The nearby employee parking lot has cameras spaced about.
The video is featured in this local news story posted earlier on this thread:

GPS equipped aircraft should have better position info unless Hillary Clinton's crew is guarding the data.
Well, it actually was Al Gore, inventor of the internet, who turned off GPS 'selective availability':
