Just witnessed an awful plane crash at novato. No survivors.

OK so for some context, I actually saw that aircraft hit the hanger after a bad takeoff due to winds. I ran to it and was the first person there. But there was already too much fire to get near it. Called 911

Only then did I take photos.

Emergency services got things contained quickly after they arrived.

Aircraft was N2912T
