Yes, you are missing out on FAR 91.23239, which calls for sympathetic detonation of all turbine aircraft on a particular frequency, when one turbine aircraft declares an emergency on an odd numbered day of any month beginning or ending in a vowel. It's the law.

Appairantly both aircraft had problems, the WN 737 had a high fuel temp indication, and the CE 500 may have had an engine fail. Link to todays Houston Chronicle story:
