Damn. Well I hope it was a false report then or something.

The active shooter turned out to be nothing. Someone "heard what sounded like gunshots" in the area.
The King air was on takeoff headed to Mexico.

That's a happy thing about the "shooting" then. Not so happy about the plane.

Was this a takeoff or landing accident?

RIP to those who lost their lives yesterday. I'm anxious to learn more from the investigations.

Looks like it was registered to the same address as this company:

That's the one. Out of PHX. Was a very nice looking plane indeed.

Wow, came pretty damn close to the terminal...good thing no airliners were on the way to/from the gates on the backside. I always spend some time up on the garage where the video was filmed after dropping off the rental car. The pic in the first post, I believe, is just to the left and out of frame of this shot(unrelated shot, trucks were there for a fuel spill). Surreal.
Here is a video pax took from in the terminal, looks to be the gate the MD-80 is on in the pic. WOW. Crazy...just imagine being a nervous flyer and gazing upon this. Much respect to the rampers who run off only to come back with a large fire extinguisher to try and lend a hand, though I doubt they were allowed near the crash.

Sounds like the owner had just taken delivery of the aircraft that very same day.

Happened on the south side of the terminal ramp there, as pictured. Had any jet been pushed back from, or taxiing into A5/6/7 there, there's a very good chance the King Air would've impacted them as it crashed. And that would've been hell.

I'm in the process of upgrading to CA and I'm re-reading this book again. Every time I read it I get something new out of it.

Or had it traveled just a few yards further South into the garage...horrific accident that could have been much worse for sure.
Had it made it past/through/over the west garage entrance wall between the flightline there, defintely. All kinds of bad possibilities.

Pretty surreal as I was standing where post accident was filmed just the day prior. This accident could have been way way worse.
