f-18 crash in SD

I'm overreacting. Be warned upfront. But an F-18 crashed into a home 2 miles from ours and destroyed 2 homes. I know, 2 miles is a long way away - its not like it was the same street or even in the same neighborhood. The pilot was on a training flight over the pacific, had some sort of problem and was on his way back to Mirimar AFB which means that the flight passed over the vicinity of our house.

To give some perspective to my semi-freak out here:
*We see fighter jets nearly every day from our home and from one of our favorite parks.
*The Miramar Air Show has flight pattenrs directly over our house (get a great look at the Blue Angels for a week).
*There are 2 confirmed deaths and 2 people missing - reports say its a "grandma, mom, & 2 small kids" (that combo never happens at our house).

Here is a Googlemap that shows our house in relation to the crash site.

Like I said, I'm overreacting.
