A small plane crashed right behind my daughters apartment complex last night. Another 40 feet closer and would have been in the apartments. Pieces and parts are everywhere, plane and body parts everywhere. It was a plane from Texas with a family of 4. My daughter will be out of her apartment for approximately 1 week for cleanup. That is quite a long time.

Wow that was close. Hate to ask but are there any survivors on the plane. It's a bad time especially now with the holidays just around the corner. Hope your daughter's apartment will be okay.

I heard about this on the news last night. I'm so sorry for the family that was killed. It's just tragic! I'm glad that your daughter and the others in the apartment complex were spared- at least physically. That must be very emotional.

How horrible! I think that would traumatise me. I mean obviously I know that this sort of thing unfortunatly happens but to have it happen right in my backyard.... Gives me the shivers. The poor people!

OMG, how tragic. The crash alone would be something that would burn in my mind for a long time, but seeing body parts strewn everywhere would be hell to forget.

It was not a pleasant sight. Thy found debris over 1/4 of a mile. They are going to have to bring someone in to pressure wash everything. It is just awful. hey evacuated, but you could not take your cars to leave. They have to even go over each one of them.

OMG that is so horrible. How is your daughter feeling. I hope she is ok. That is a very scary ordeal for something like this to happen so close to her home. I hope she will be back home soon

She is doing ok. She seen things that will stick with her probably the rest of her life, but thankfully no one but the people aboard the plane was killed. No other injuries either. I feel bad for the family. It was quite an ordeal for our small town.

Oh goodness, that is terrible.
A couple of years ago, a condominium block fell on its side here in Kuala Lumpur. There were like 20 families that were affected. It was caused by some underground water movement like 40 or 50 feet below the ground. It's quite scary.

U daughter must be very good looking. She distracted the pilot with her beauty. Thank god there were only 4 people in the plane. Let me give u a piece of advice, please don’t take ur daughter and ever go to airport, for any reason.

That's kind of scary, but horrible for the family. I am glad your daughter is safe. What a job to have to clean up something like that. I'd have nightmares about body parts!

Oh how terrible. What an ordeal - and how sad for that poor family, I imagine it will be very tough for yur daughter to get over this. Hopefully the memories will dim with time.
Several years ago my sister in law's sister in law was livingin Honduras withher husband. A plane crashed into the building where they were staying and she went into premature labour. It was a very tense time. Luckily the boys survived and is now 8 or 9 and a gorgeous kid. (They live in Melbourne now). They were so lucky.
