154 killed, including 8 on the ground. I lost two friends that afternoon, going to Vegas for the weekend. I was about 1.5 miles north of the airport, it was raining very hard, I heard a muffled boom and saw a lot of smoke. I didn't find out until the next morning that my friends were on that plane.



I was in position on runway 10 next to go, I can be heard/read on the cvr/atc recording/transcript

Did you or anyone you worked with have a bad gut feeling about the weather that day?
