this is all i could see about other people involved "Witnesses at the scene said that as they ran towards the explosion a man who told them he was an off duty police officer staggered up the road towards them.
The policeman's Ford Escort was spun 360 degrees by the force of the blast. "

Wow! That's a good story, Zerg. I'm glad the pilot made it out alright and that he managed to get his aircraft pointed in a somewhat safe direction before leaving it. It looks like, thankfully, nobody incurred any major injury. I know its purely speculation on my part...but, bird-strike maybe?
