Just reading about that being a distinct possibility. Holy shit.

I got a call from my son last night. I could tell he was in tears.
He works in Windsor Locks CT. The place he works at is less than a mile from and in line with runway 6. He was on break in the back parking lot when he heard a plane sounding like it was in trouble. A few seconds later 9o9 came over the building at what he guessed that about 100 foot altitude. He said the inside engine on the left wing was not rotating. The engines on the right wing were smoking. The pilot had the rudder pushed full right turn. He thought to himself this was not going to end well and asked God to help them. It wasn't long after that he heard the crash and then saw the smoke.

That sounds a hell of a lot like wrong fuel. OMFG. That is so far beyond unacceptable that I can't even put it into words.
