I'm hearing on News Channel 14 that it was a small plane (second in a couple of weeks) that apparently took out some power lines. Unsure as to how many aboard. I'm in the flight path in Cary but there's no sign of any problems in our area.

Small plane crashes at RDU; no word on passengers
The Associated Press
MORRISVILLE, N.C. -- A small aircraft crashed short of a runway at Raleigh-Durham International Airport on Sunday night, a spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Authority said.
A Beech Bonanza registered to a Raleigh company, FCA Inc., crashed at about 9:15 p.m. on approach to the airport, according to FAA spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen in Atlanta.
The aircraft had taken off from Wilmington, she said. There was no word on the number of passengers aboard the single-engine plane, which can carry four to six people, or their conditions.

You have a good point. But, that was the local TV Stations headline, not mine. Sorry, anyway...

I remember reading a thread about a month ago, about a crashed plane where the pilot apparently walked away.
Texas, I think.
Anyone got a follow up on that?
Did they ever find out who the pilot/thief was?
To: eddie willers

Why don't we post an article to breaking news every time a car crashes somewhere in America?
