Literally been at one where the rubble was still smoldering and another one where we didn’t even knew how many people we were looking for. And saw an actual emergency landed airliner from a few hundred metres away. But I work as a paramedic. The first one was a small prop plane, one two people miraculously survived, but with life altering injuries, the second one was a crashed glider, sadly the pilot died, but it’s highly likely that he was dead before he crashed - a medical issue was suspected.

The third one had a few lightly injured passengers but they were already transported by the time we arrived.

Ah. And a Fastfood joint I used to go to as a kid was the site of a gnarly crash where a small two engine plane crashed into a bus and said Fastfood joint a few years earlier.

The current crash hits home differently as I have spend countless hours on the same aircraft type and the same (aeromedical) setting. While I did not know the crew, have left the field long ago, the community is tightly knit and I know people who knew them.A truely sad case.
