Plane Crash
Its always a worry on my street(Sumit Wood Dr) as we are in the direct flight path from/to McCollum Airport. However, the pilot did a heroic thing in crashing into the tree park rather then try and reach the airport and slamming into some houses and risking hurting somebody on the ground
