Quote: "Marty Martinez, a passenger on the plane, posted a Facebook Live during the emergency landing. 'Flight attendants ran over calling for passengers to help cover the hole as they broke down and began uncontrollably crying and looking horrified as they looked outside. Plane dropped dramatically and it smelled like fire with ash coming down on everyone thru the vents. Absolutely terrifying, but we are okay,' Martinez wrote."

Quote: "In an interview with CBSN, Martinez said an engine exploded and broke a window. 'First there was an explosion and almost immediatey, the oxygen masks came down and, probably within a matter of 10 seconds, the engine then hit a window and busted it wide open,' said Martinez. Martinez says a woman was critically injured. 'There was blood everywhere,' Martinez explained."

Note: This is the 56th aircraft to smoke/burn/explode in 2018...

Quote: "There were three airplanes inside. The fire call came in as a rescue and flames had subsided by the time fire crews arrived. 'The fire sprinklers had activated and we did have to rescue one person, who unfortunately is deceased,' Nevada County Consolidated Fire District Fire Marshal Terry McMahon said. The fire sprinklers, along with a fire wall that split the building, saved the business next door. It was able to resume partial operations with just smoke damage. But it was the smoke that may very well have been deadly. 'Fiberglass and the upholsteries and the things that they use in them, the smoke was dark and was down low to the ground,' McMahon said."

Note: These are the 57th, 58th, 59th, 60th and 61st aircraft to smoke/burn/explode in 2018, and that makes 14 in the last week, though there were only 2 fatalities total - this hangar fatality and the woman who died when the Southwest engine exploded during a flight the other day. The deadliest plane fire this year was the military plane that burst into flame at takeoff then crashed and burned near the coast near Boufarik (Algeria), killing 257 people, which happened waaaaay back on April 11, mentioned in the 2018-04-11 update...

Quote: "The crew of a sheriff’s ASTREA helicopter radioed shortly before 2:30 p.m. that they had located the helicopter in Borrego Sink Wash and that it was on its side in several pieces."

Note: One of the stories says it was a 'hard landing'. If your aircraft is in several pieces, I call that a 'crash'...
