Nobody knows if the three persons who are living in the house, were in the house at the time of the crash.

The recording mentions a lot of birds in the area. I know nothing about the accident acft. Could multiple bird strikes in the engines at low altitude cause loss of control?

The Phenom left the Horace Williams Airport, Chapel Hill NC earlier in the day.  It was registered to Sage Aviation LLC, also of Chapel Hill.

Very sad, the fire department reports said they found the 36 year old mother and her infant son and 3 year old in the bathroom on the second floor. They were trying to seek refuge there they said. The father and their 5 year old we're not home....I can't imagine.  Prayers for all affected.

The NTSB said, according to the flight recorder, that the plane stalled caused by low airspeed. After shaking the plane decelerates quickly, it falls of the sky.
