I was working at the Library on China lake at the time. My wife (then Girlfriend) Denise, was out on ECO when it happened.
Freaked me out. You hear the boom, and figure it's another bomb. But then someone comes in and says "Hey, there was a plane crash out on ECO!" and you think "Well, there is lots of space out there. I hope no-one was hurt" Then they say, someone got hurt!" and you think "Well, there are lots of people on the range, I hope to god its not Denise" Then they say "Some WOMAN got hurt out on the range!" and you think "Oh toejam there are probably less than 5 women out there" Turn out it was Renee and not Denise, and while I meant no I'll will towards Renee, I was so relieved when I heard that Denise was ok, and that Renee would be all right as well. Pretty crazy day for sure.
