Just finishing up in the OR and Fox News (as usual) is on in the lounge and the talking heads and guests are making rumbles about wtf another plane crash?

It caught on fire in mid air then crashed?  Someone with common sense will tell us definitively what it was but maybe a drone?  Doesn't look like a Boeing plane.

I'm watching a local news station on YouTube. One of their reporters on the scene came across this oxygen tank about a 1/4-mile away from the impact site (they're saying it's a large debris field).

Also, the weather guy checked the temp readings about a 1/2-mile in elevation (max height at which the plane reached), and the temp was below freezing. So, they think that ice was likely NOT a factor.

As I was typing this, they read a quote from a city council person, there are mass casualties on the ground. Reports are that it's a gruesome scene.

Edit: Also, also the plane crashed only about 30 seconds after take-off, according to what the anchors just said. The flight was heading to Springfield, MO.

Good update but you meant above freezing.  I would think the pressure zones around the wings would also have an impact so not just ambient temps.

I'm still waiting to see if they rule out a drone.

Thanks. Yes, for clarification, he said the temps were ABOVE freezing at that altitude. Too late to edit my post.
