RENO, Nev. (AP) - A plane plunged into the stands at an air race event in Reno in what an official described as a "mass casualty situation."

It wasn't immediately known how many people were killed. But video of the crash showed a horrific scene of bodies and wreckage at the front of the stands.

Horrible. Thoughts and prayers to those affected.

I predict an animated gif by the time this thread gets to the 3rd page.

RENO, Nev. (AP) &#8212; Federal investigators on Saturday began looking into what caused a 74-year-old pilot to lose control of his World War II-era plane and crash next to a VIP section at a Reno air race in an accident that killed at least three people and sent dozens to the hospital.

I guessing it has something to do with the pilot being 74 years old.

Everyone I know who attends that is intact. Couple of buddies were there, said it was meat grinder ugly.

I hear the same thing. If I was on the crew of that plane, I'd be getting out of Nevada quick.
