“We ran out here and there was smoke, it was black, but what was bad was the fire. It was so, I mean, you can just feel how intense it was. It was so bad, and people were like, stopping their cars running down there, then … we hear total ‘booms,'” said Theresa Brown, a person who lives near the site of the crash. “You just knew nobody survived that… I don’t know what else to say. It’s just heart-wrenching. You don’t wish that on anybody.”
