Default Maydays this weekend

Flying home this weekend (Eastern Tennessee to Chicago) I heard
airliners relaying two separate Maydays for light GA planes.

One of the planes went down, contact was lost, and an ELT was
activated.

The other went down in a field, and was apparently in good enough
shape to relay to the airliner that they were ok.

Sobering thoughts as I cruised over the hilly terrain of Tennessee and
Kentucky. Be careful out there.
