The Austin Small Plane Crash

As those of you who watch and/or listen to the news are aware, a small plane crashed into a building in Austin at the intersection of Mopac and 183 at around 7am cst the morning of February 18th. The entire building was engulfed by smoke fairly quickly and both lives on the plane were lost presumably on impact. Hours later, the freeway was still slightly backed up in both directions and there were police, news crews and many passersby checking out the destroyed building. The fact that this accident occurred just a few miles from where I work was a little unnerving. At the moment they are unsure as to the situation that led to the fatal crash, however they are fairly certain it is not terrorist related. I know of a wealthy gentleman in the area who is known for flying his personal plane around, as well as there being a military base right behind the house in which I work, so I'm sure we'll be told soon just who died and what happened.
