Some folks don't realize, after an emergency situation arises, that doesn't mean everyone else stops, ATC did an awesome job here
keeping all others moving, and safely. Nice Job!
RIP and thoughts with all the others involved in the crash.)

MESA, AZ (AZFamily) — Five people are dead after a plane crashed at a Mesa airport and hit a car late Tuesday afternoon, Mesa Fire and Medical said.
The crash happened around 4:45 p.m. near Greenfield and McKellips Road, just southwest of Falcon Field Airport.
A Honda HA-420 jet crashed at the airport and appears to have slid through the fencing before striking a vehicle outside of the airport property.
Five people were aboard the plane. It is unclear how many people were in the car and if the people who died were in the car or plane.
Northbound Greenfield Road is open, but traffic must go east at McKellips Road. Southbound Greenfield is still closed in the area.
Westbound and eastbound McKellips is open, with one lane moving in each direction. Police will be out at the scene most of the night and advise people to drive cautiously.
