Plane Crashes On Beltway 8; All Lanes Closed
POSTED: 6:57 am CST November 22, 2004
UPDATED: 7:45 am CST November 22, 2004
HOUSTON -- A passenger jet crash 1½ miles south of Hobby Airport on Monday morning has shut down Beltway 8, Local 2 reports.
Officials said the plane crashed at about 6:30 a.m. between South Wayside and Cullen, just south of Highway 288.
No word yet on injuries.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Roland Herwig said the Gulfstream G-1159-A flight originated at Dallas Love Field. He said the plane's registered owner is Jet Place Incorporated of Tulsa, Okla.
Houston Airport System spokesman Roger Smith said the jet, which can carry up to 12 passengers, was approaching runway 4 at Hobby Airport when it went down.
Harris County Tollway Authority spokeswoman Patricia Freife told Local 2 the plane hit a light pole, spreading debris across the road and a large field north of the tollway.
Tollway traffic has been diverted onto feeder roads and side streets. Westbound traffic has been shut down at Wayside while eastbound traffic has been closed at Cullen.
Drivers are being encouraged to find an alternative route around the area.
Officials with the Houston police and fire departments, and Harris County Precinct 7 emergency crews have been called to the scene.

3 engine gulfstream? Interesting news
http://www.khou.com/topstories/stories/khou041122_jt_planecrash.7feae5cb.htmlPlane crashes en route to Hobby Airport
07:48 AM CST on Monday, November 22, 2004
From 11 News Staff Reports
A jet passenger plane with three people aboard crashed near the Beltway Monday morning between Mykawa and Cullen. Two fatalities has been confirmed. The crash debris has closed the Beltway in both directions in that area as well as the feeder roads between Cullen and Wayside.
KHOU-TV
Shown is the lightpole that the pilot apparently clipped prior to the crash in the 5400 block of the Sam Houston Tollway Monday morning.
Witnesses reported hearing a large boom around 6:15 a.m.
According to 11 News helicopter pilot Greg Walsh who is in the area, a large three-engine Gulfstream jet plane crashed while on approach to runway 4 at Hobby Airport. The plane crashed in a field off the 5400 block of the Sam Houston Tollway. Roger Smith from the City of Houston Aviation Department said the plane was inbound from Dallas Love Field and had three people aboard when it crashed around 6:19 a.m.
"He took out the top half of a light pole into Hobby," said Walsh. "He should not have been that low. All I can see that's left is just the tail section. It's absolutely catastrophic."
Walsh said the pilot just missed a large set of powerlines in the area.
The crash site is in the 5400 block of the Sam Houston Tollway.
Jack Williams of the Houston Fire Department said, "we've got stuff strewn everywhere." The plane wreckage was still burning as of 7 a.m. and fire crews were out in the field to douse the blaze and search for victims

Some guy said:
Don't forget the APU!
Not to make light of a horrible situation by any means. My question, with the visibilities in the area running 1/8 to 1-1/4 with ceilings at BKN01, tell me how helicopter pilot Walsh was out and about. Was he an eye witness who happened to be a helicopter pilot, or as suggested, a helicopter pilot flying over the scene?
God Bless the crew, pax and families of all involved.

Plane crashes on Beltway in southeast Houston
Three people are reportedly dead after a plane goes down in southeast Houton.
ABC13 Eyewitness News and The Associated Press
(11/22/04 - HOUSTON) — A private jet plane crashed near Houston's Hobby Airport Monday.
It happened around 6:19am Monday morning near Highway 288 and Beltway 8, near Hobby Airport.
Houston District Fire Chief Jack Williams said that the twin-engine Gulfstream jet arriving from Dallas Love Field apparently clipped a tall light tower at a Beltway 8 toll plaza, shearing off a wing. He says the severed wing rests near the base of the tower.
Authorities have shut down Beltway 8 on both directions near Cullen. There is debris scattered across the lanes. Traffic is being directed off the Beltway and onto Cullen Road and Telephone Road.
Fire crews were able to douse the flames. Three people were on board. All three victims, two men and a woman, have been recovered. There were no survivors.
There are some reports of cars have suffered damage from debris, but no injuries on the ground have been reported.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Roland Herwig says the Gulfstream jet went down about 6:15am, one-and-a-half miles south of Houston's Hobby Airport.
Herwig says the Gulfstream G-1159-A flight originated at Dallas Love Field. He says the plane's registered owner is Jet Place Incorporated of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Airport officials reported that the plane that was on approach to Hobby when it went down. There was a lot of fog and mist during the crash. There's no official word if that played a role in the fatal crash.
