A small plane intruded into the class B airspace around the airport, I believe, and they had a midair collision.

The jet looks to be close to or exceeding ninety degrees of bank. Also their speed must have been pretty slow so near an airport. I think they stalled and fell out of the sky. The plane is nose-down, so the pilot is probably trying to regain some airspeed and save it, but he's way too low.

The big jet landed right into the middle of suburbia and blew away a whole block of middle-income homes. I mean nothing left.

This accident is where as a kid I learned the word "Cessna".
