A breathless ABC13 local reporter at 6:45 this morning said it appeared to be a 737 that crashed.
It was pretty foggy this morning, and the jet had come from Dallas through a front. The pilot may have forgotten to adjust for barometric pressure with his altimeter and thought he had more altitude than he obviously did.

Gulfstream II probably had radar altimeter. Did he land way short?
Sad to say, pilot probably wasn't aligned on localizer (left/right of runway).

This was not a Piper Cub. This plane should have been under the control of the tower.
