I think you are right. There were hundreds looking for video on youtube AT the event because they did not see the actual impact. One dumb comment may have started this. I can tell you that there were several very concerned individuals - of some note. The fact that the Governor came ASAP and then the presser was delayed about an hour fed it even more.
NTSB briefing going on now...
Two deaths at the hospital plus seven more on the tarmac for a total of nine, including the pilot.
Have found a part from the tail and will be analyzing it. The area has been secured for recovery of debris.
Looking for all video/photographs available.
