I remember the day this happened. I was home and grabbed my scanner to listen to emergency response. I was appalled to see that this tragedy brought out the worst in people. The plane debris landed on the railroad tracks as well as the roadway. The emergency crews were requesting police as they said there were looters on the train tracks. Who would dare take not only personal possessions, but possible evidence from the dead and the accident scene. I was hoping more people would have survived.
