Ugh. Watch the video, but turn down the sound. Nothing but "disaster" reporting. I like how they have somebody from a medical consulting (Alina Medical) company talking about the properties of jet fuel and how "it could have exploded."

Some tidbits:

"...experts that have viewed the tape still wonder- how it is the two planes didn't explode on impact..."
"...thousands of gallons of fuel..."
"...out of control DC-9... Slams into the airbus, pushing it 60 feet..."
"...the collision is violent... jet fuel pours out... a single spark could have created a fireball..."
"...its an ignition source away from- a catastrophe. Just an amazing catastrophe..."
"...by many accounts could have been the deadliest MN has seen..."

Pretty amazing how much momentum/mass the DC-9 has against the Airbus... it gave the plane a pretty good push.
