So this item just came across my Twitter feed -- N818GM apparently had a forced landing due to what appears to be an engine casualty. (big scorch mark on the engine cowling). KACT isn't in the feed list -- anyone perhaps have audio from KACT Approach/Tower?

Update for those monitoring: sounds like engine failure on departure from KADS, potentially with CAPS deployment (Aircraft is an SR22). I have ground and tower audio, working on departure now, I'll post a trimmed clip as soon as I assemble the pieces.

And here we go. Edited for silence and other traffic. Looks like I was able to grab the entire flight.
This clip contains audio from KADS Ground, Tower, and KDAL regional departure.

I didn't know you could deploy CAPS that low. Kudos to that pilot, sounded super competent and very calm.
Thanks for putting this together, great clip.

Yeah - that's what stood out at me too while I was in the mad dash to assemble the audio. This guy had his stuff together. "Well, I can't make the runway... i'll just put 'er down on the road over here..."
If I ever have the world coming apart around me, I want to be as cool as he is. Well done, Sir.
