'tis my hood too.
Looking at F24, it appears a Lear 35 comes in on approach at 1439 local time and then just stops at the approach end of the runway per the telemetry, which looks very odd. The aircraft immediately behind the Lear then does a missed approach as does a JSX ERJ behind him.
Yikes, I'm hoping this is a nothing event, but that doesn't look good.

N81VN is the tail. It looks like it was a gear up landing as the aircraft appears to be fully intact.
The article says gear collapse and impacted another aircraft.
But It’s also from the guys who spend six weeks talking about a 90 minute football game and get the scores all wrong.
Local media reporting 1 fatality

There's a photo on one of the corporate FB groups I'm still on. The Lear 35 collided with a parked jet aircraft. I don't recall the type. My guess was a brake failure/runway excursion. The photo was from the back of the Lear but someone mentioned in a comment the cockpit of the Lear was fairly smashed in.

Looked like an Astra/G150/G200/whatever, to me. Some sort of IAI product.

Yeah, I'm gonna guess the fatality was in the Lear. It looks like the wing of the Gulfstream filleted the right side of the Lear from the FO's side of the cockpit down to the emergency exit above the wing. The Lear had a tarp over the cockpit area which I would presume is to preserve someone's dignity.

The brakes and nosewheel steering on those things are getting mighty cantankerous as they age.
RIP Lear jock, hopefully you’re somewhere with plenty of headroom and legroom

Yikes, eerie to see that landing gear and actuator sitting there.
