That is wild stuff there


Gotta love Live TV coverage.

Reporter (talking about how the rescue crews dealt with trying to stop one
of the engines that was still running):

"Firefighters moved in and started spraying water and foam directly at the
spinning propeller trying get the thing to short out, or overload, or
stall and that's in fact what ended up happening. They finally got that
propeller to stop spinning."

What amazed me was the amount of damage to the front of the aircraft and
there were no deaths.
