LAS VEGAS -- Witnesses of a plane crash near the North Las Vegas airport reacted to the second crash in less than a week.People nearby said they were shocked when a plane hit power lines, caught fire and slammed into a house.Some said they were then angry and fed up. They said it needs to stop."It looked like he was floating down to the ground. It was the craziest thing I've ever seen," said witness Regina Williams.
Williams said she had a sick feeling in her stomach as she watched the twin-engine Piper Navajo fall from sky, catch on fire and collide with a home."My son was only 3, crying, ‘Plane crash, plane crash,’ You could tell he was going to crash," she said.When the plane did crash, a massive fire broke out. The pilot died, and the damage to one side of the house was extensive."Something needs to change. They come in so low where we lived, it looked like they were going to clip our balcony. Something has to change," said witness Daniel Holm.Some neighbors said it’s a horrible feeling when they are constantly looking up expecting the worst.
