Kalitta Air 747 Cargo Plane Crashes in Colombia

More bad news for the Kalitta family. CNN is reporting that a Kalitta Air 747 cargo plane has crashed near Bogota, Colombia. None of the 8 crew members on board are reported killed, but two souls on the ground weren't so lucky. Prayers for all involved.

It sure has been a tough stretch for the Kalitta family of late. First, another Kalitta Air 747 crashed and broke apart back in May in Brussels after aborting a takeoff. Then Scott Kalitta was tragically killed a few weeks ago in a racing accident. Now this. I sincerely hope things turn around for them soon.

Ironically, both this plane and the USA Jet plane that crashed in Mexico yesterday were based at Willow Run Airport in Ypsilanti, Michigan.
