Private jet from Texas crashes in Honduras, all survive
ABC News

 A private jet traveling from Austin, Texas, crashed off the end of the runway of the Honduran capital's international airport and broke in half Tuesday, but the crew and passengers were rescued and reportedly out of danger.

Video images posted online showed what appeared to be area residents pulling people out of the damaged fuselage of the white Gulfstream jet, while others sprayed it with hand-held fire extinguishers.

If one reads the rest of the story at the link, the plane took down some power-lines causing some of the nearby population to lose electricity. That's pretty serious, often, when one hears of power-lines being hit,  the accident is very serious. Here's hoping that these early reports are correct, all survive. I'm wondering who they are exactly, the story is not clear who was on the plane.

You have a fair number of Christian missionaries that go to these countries, but that's just speculation. They could be anyone.

Fox reports a bit more I believe from the original posted story.:

Quote
"Honduran firefighters posted photos of the crash and said there were nine people injured, but military police spokesman Mario Rivera said there were six aboard. The discrepancy was not immediately clarified.

Miguel Osorio, a spokesman for the Hospital Escuela Universitario, said that five crew members were being treated for minor injuries and were in stable condition."

Could the discrepancy be "crew members" vs. everyone on board, hopefully, as stated, no one was seriously hurt.
