Perhaps due to the federal government shut-down, FOX 4 did not receive a response to our inquiry to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) about the crash investigation.

Also, no update has come from the NTSB.

Local perspective

Today, co-owner of Texas Performance Exhaust Shop, Arleth Rodriguez, is still shocked by how close the crash occurred to their shop, just a hundred feet away, smashing into 10 semi-trucks in the process.

“You thought for a moment your business was on fire. Yes, like I said when we got the call, they said it seems like the shops are on fire,” said Rodriguez.

“We’re very shocked. It’s very sad to hear the devastating news.”

What we don’t know

The identity of the second crash victim is still unconfirmed. The number of passengers on the aircraft is also unconfirmed.
