update

While the plane did "clip the apartment building", it also caused a massive fire that burnt the structure to the ground in Groton, CT. All 38 people in the building survived but unfortunately many have nowhere to live tonight. Equally as unfortunate, after a series of spins and summersaults, both pilots ended up in the water inside their plane and were pronounced dead at the scene of the accident.

At the time, they were on their second go-around to an airport that wouldn't have had personnel running the tower until 20 minutes in the future. RIP to all concerned.
