Possible plane crash in Lexington, KY. My brother works security for Lexington UK Hospital and was just called in. No news locally or on major news outlets yet. I didn't want to post anything for fear of being wrong, but he's still waiting for an official call while on stand-by.
Update from WTVQ 36 Lexington:
A plane has crashed near the Blue Grass Airport this morning. No word on details at this time. We are told it was a commercial aircraft. Versailles Road is blocked as emergency vehicles circle around the site. We have live coverage beginning at 7:20am. Stay with Action News 36 for more details.
Its on CNN
I can't believe that there is no news anywhere. I've checked all the major news outlets locally and national.
CNN just broke the story
This is not good. Prayers for the dead and injured. Prayers also for the caregivers.
Keep us informed. FR is faster and more reliable than the lame-stream anyway.

I will say a prayer there is not a terrible loss of life with this mishap.
