An American Connection flight opperated by Corporate Airlines has just crashed 2 miles south of Kirksville Missouri. They run Daily flights from St. Louis to Kirksville. There were between 15 and 17 people on board. As of right now there is no word on survivors.
The pilots for these flights stay at the Hotel where I work. I see them on a daily basis, and they are some of the nicest people that stay with us. If you are a person who prays, please do so for the people on board and their families.
Thank You-

They aren't releasing any new information at this time, but they did have me reserve all of our rooms for family members, and we expect people to start arriving soon. so I will be too busy to keep updating. BUt the ABC station is updating its website regularly.
