    Hopefully the people living in that apartment building were at work or school.

    amazing when it all goes wrong ! wheather it is man or machine that caused the accident , how quickly evereything happens .Must have been catastrophic failure of the aircraft in some shape or form.

    Both crew ejected safetly !

    the best safety device in any aircraft is a well trained pilot !

    In the aircraft, yes. Not very safe for the people on the ground.
