A Note to Our Readers

Dear Readers,
We make a special effort here to record the facts as we receive them. At times, there may be error but we do try to use our best judgement at the time of posting, and will be glad to amend any details which are proved incorrect. Furthermore, even though we do not here discuss the human cost, we realize that losing anyone in an air accident is insurmountable tragedy to individuals, families and communities. We do extend our heartfelt sympathy to those whose loss we record here. "...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for..." us all.

These are two different crashes near the same airport, Bowman Field in Kentucky. The crash featured in the AP video says there was no fire and the plane does not look burned. Conversely, the other Cessna plane crash, involving the pilot Richard Shenk, definitely caught fire and Mr. Shenk was severely burnt.

This Louisville Courier Journal Article has details of both: http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080508/NEWS01/805080388
