    Pretty horrific scene coming in from Newscopters 2, 5 and 7. Looks like it hit the ground off the main runway and
    skidded to the taxiway. Debris all over the place including a piece on the main runway away from the impact area.
    An R44 helicopter is parked nearby and Ch2 copter reporter says the pilot of that copter saw the crash and quickly
    landed to see if he can help but the wreckage was too twisted. Plane is being identified as a Cessna 337 Skymaster
    that is based at the airport.

    All five bodies have been recovered. RIP.

    Witnesses say the plane appeared to be trying to land with the gear up, and that a piece of the plane fell off while it was still in the air. Strange.

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    That could be the piece laying on the runway away from the impact area.
