the ntsb video shows the impact zone on the ground and drone footage of how large an area is involved.

22 people were injured, 7 died, 5 are in hospital, 3 are critical.

Here’s an updated story on the 10-year-old boy who was seriously injured while protecting his younger sister. TL : DR - He wasn’t even expected to survive at first, but he is talking and got to enjoy a visit from a favorite athlete. I saw a lot of love expressed in this story.

the 9 year old has burns covering 90 percent. the pain that child is in, just devastating.

Another update: The family has started a GoFundMe. I contributed.

Update:

The voice recorder wasn’t working, possibly for years. This will obviously make the investigation more difficult.

Not much of an update but a wrongful death lawsuit was filed accusing Med Jets, of negligence and says the owner failed to make sure the plane was safe to fly.

And Andre’s mom gave an update on Sunday. It sounds like he’s still undergoing treatments, but he’s continuing to recover.
