I was coaching my son at a soccer practice about 20 miles north when the crash occurred. We heard the sound of the explosion of the plane upon impact and saw the subsequent smoke from the fire. Of course, at the time we were not aware that a plane crash had caused this event although one parent remarked at the time that "hopefully something didn't happen at the airport".
