FYI guys this is a small cargo/commuter plane on a night flight, usually crewed by low-time commericial pilots and usually the planes are really old, and if they are not maintained properly, could be dangerous. This is not a 9/11 type situation. Either the pilot fucked up or the maintenance fucked up. Once again, RIP.
