Nothing at this point to indicate it was terrorism related FBI, via Fox.

IIRC, there is a small Army air field there from the good old days. Is it used for GenAv?

That’s a lot of smoke for a “small” plane!

It appears that the pilot up until yesterday was a driver for Joe Biden’s motorcades.

Are we under attack? If so I have to run and get my children out of school and cause all kinds of hysteria?

Sure, why not?

from the extent of the fire, it looks like the pilot may have had some kind of accelerant on the plane. A small plane like that should not cause a fire that extensive, imho. It looks like the fire spread 100’s of feet horizontally to me, which seems unusual.

I love these “We have yet to launch an investigation, but we have already reached a conclusion” type of statements.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Abdul was just practicing take-offs and had not got the landing part down just yet.

Seeing as it’s Texas, could this be...

Bush’s fault?

The pictures make it clear that this is not a high-rise at all, just a regular building.

Still horrible....hope those two missing are okay.

Just once, I’d like to see someone come on and say, “At this point, terrorism can not be ruled out.”

Good link, although they seem to be more worried about the major traffic problems than the people still trapped in the building. I kid you not.

Would a plane do that if it was fully topped with fuel? I do think it seems pretty strange.
