This picture and the one of Wagon-12 (similiar fireground) may have been from a plane crash in the mid-70's at the golf course off of Indian Ridge Rd. and Sunrise Valley Rd. in Reston. The aircraft could not make the runway at Dulles and set down the golf course, ran out of room and slammed into a townhouse with mulitple fatallties. The aircraft was a twin (?) engine non-commercial type.

Was definitely from the Reston crash, but story I heard was it became lost in fog, hit one townhouse, totally destroying it, killing a couple in that townhouse and the fuselage ended up next to another townhouse, killing the soul pilot on board. The engines from the Learjet-type aircraft continued forward and ended up penetrating either side of a living room window of another townhouse while the stunned occupant stood at the window looking on in horror....I think I have some of Clark's pics somewhere showing one of the engines hanging out of the exterior wall.
