I was downstairs doing some framing and I hear a bunch of helicopters buzzing around about 10 minutes ago.
I pop the news on and they're talking about a plane crash into the McDowell Mountains which are about two blocks from my house. The McDowells are almost in my back yard.
I go to the balcony outside of the master bedroom with a view of the McDowells and sure enough, four hovering helicopters and a burning debris field at the crest of the mountain, clearly visible.
Nasty, erie, extremely sad sight to see on the mountainside. Since it JUST happened, there's no details beyond it was a KSDL departure or arrival and no word on the aircraft type.
Folks, be careful flying at night around mountains.
