Serious question. What’s the sop for a patient with 100% burns? Just try to numb the pain and ease passing? If they’re an organ donor are those still usable?

I’m not far away (off of East Bayou), and my electricity blinked about 45 minutes ago (maybe more don’t remember the exact time), maybe that had something to do with it.

Haven’t heard any sirens or anything though.

I’m not the one to answer that....I’m not a burn nurse.

My hospital has a top notch burn center though and I have been told that usually adults with more than 90% burns don’t make it.

Would the crash site be out toward Broussard ?
"Behind Pinhook Wal-Mart" indicates no. The approach to LFT flies right over that area around Feu Follet Rd.

There's some office buildings (Haliburton?) and large empty lots behind Wal-Mart, if it's where I think it is. I used to let my dog off his leash and run around out there.

I’ve never seen a flightaware of a plane crash so I’ve wondered what they do. Weird they just estimate where it would be.

If you click the log you can see it was dropping 1500’/min 30 seconds after takeoff

Yea I looked at the elevations it said they were at 800’ or so then started losing altitude rapidly. Very eerie to say the least.

This happened a couple of miles from my house. Crazy. Power blinked for a second and then heard a bunch of sirens almost immediately.

I fixed my FB link at the bottom of page 1. That's the only video of the site that I've seen.

RIP to those who perished. Mercy to the survivors.



One of my friends got burned in an explosion over his whole body except where he had his gym shorts on.


He survived. That poor man has suffered every day since. Probably 30 years or so.

It looks like the post office on Feu Follet at Verot in Laffy not far from the veterans park

That’s the norm for general aviation
