That's horrible, John. Any idea on the cause?

Chuck-

19 dead 1 missing, as of now.

From the pictures and testimonies it looks like there was a fire or an explosion as the plane turned into a fireball.

The plane was built in 1946 and is apparently well known in Miami.

Yes, unfortunately now no survivors. Right hand wing appeared to be on fire then became detatched and the plane basically fell out of the sky from about 500 feet.

3 infants included in the dead. Terrible.
