Reports on the radio here say that Carolinas Medical Center isn't expecting any patients... which apparently = no survivors.

The plane was destined for Greenville-Spartanburg International in SC... i.e. - where I live.

That'll be the last time for a long time the GSP area makes national headlines.

Sorry for the familes involved, but at the same time glad that thing didn't land on me.

A few days ago the exact same model plane as that made an emergency landing at GSP International b/c they didn't know if the nose gear was down. We have a scanner b/c a family member is a fire fighter... they toned off 7 fire departments for that little incident.
