2. If I were going to see a man about a horse

I think I'd land at Cincinnati and rent a car.

Seriously. It sounds like something in that control room is haywire.

5. Smart move. Thinking of the CVG airport...

... a much larger airport and major Delta hub, here's an interesting article:

A similar error at CVG unlikely to be so deadly

8. What, they hired a new air traffic controller, and he looks like this guy?

6. MS/NBC is interviewing a Karr friend's dog's flea.

I don't see this about another crash.

[VolcanoJen]

10. Exactly. The new plane crash news broke right before the Karr DNA news.

So that's where we are.

I've searched Lexington and Cincinnati news, as well as the AP, Reuters, and MSNBC, CNN, FOX and no further update.

Another poster on this thread heard the story too... I'll continue to search for a validating link.

7. Anymore news??

9. All the breaking news on MSNBC.com and CNN.com is about DNA

in the JonBenet case.

At least two people died Monday morning in a plane crash south of Petaluma, emergency officials said.

The plane, believed to be an amateur-built, experimental aircraft, crashed into a hillside east of Highway 101 near the Sonoma-Marin county line.

The plane is registered to a Novato man but the identities of the pilot and passenger had yet to be confirmed.

Also unknown were when the crash occurred and from where the flight originated
