Update: Plane Crash at Wichita Eisenhower National Airport-Close to Home

I received a text from the Youngest Daughter this AM.
A plane, a Beechcraft King Air, crashed into the Flight Safety Facility at the Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport in Wichita, Kansas. She is about 1/4 mile from the accident site. I used to work at Bombardier-Learjet to the West of Flight Safety.
I will simply link to Wichita TV stations. They will have continuing coverage on this available.
So far there are 2 dead and 5 injured according to KAKE 10, 2 dead, 4 injured and 5 missing according to KWCH 12.

The Youngest Daughter just called. She and her co workers watched the King Air go in.
After the ATAC Hawker Hunter going in at Point Mugu...............................I guess the bad stuff comes in bunches.
Update to the story.
KSN TV has some pictures of the accident at the following link:
