JCPS closed tomorrow.

I think that is a very good decision. 

 

Not the exact jet that crashed but the same model/appearance.  

Up to 7 dead now.

9 confirmed deaths as of a few minutes ago.

Officials have established a family reunification center. Based on the families that have been there so far, there are 16 individuals unaccounted for. 

There are people in area hospitals, so hopefully some of those folks are part of the 16. 

From surfing Facebook, this was info about the plane posted there and I think this may be an actual picture of the plane from the past:

The aircraft involved was N259UP, a 34-year-old McDonnell Douglas MD-11F, first flown in 1991 and delivered as a passenger plane to Thai Airways International. Later converted to a cargo plane, it was delivered to UPS Airlines, a wholly owned subsidiary of United Parcel Service (UPS), in 2006.
