The National Transportation Safety Board Chair described the scene as \"utter devastation.\" Both recorders were sent to NTSB headquarters in Washington for evaluation. The aircraft remained airborne deep into Runway 30 before striking a four-lane road, hitting a 2012 Ford contract cleaning van and a Toyota SUV.
