OKLAHOMA CITY -- The plane that crashed in Colorado and
killed members of the Oklahoma State basketball team fell on land
owned by a colleague of one of the 10 victims.
The crash killed two members of the team and eight others,
including Bill Teegins, the sports anchor for KWTV in Oklahoma
City.
The plane crashed near Byers, Colo., on land owned by the
parents of KWTV sports reporter Jeff Losh. Losh came to Oklahoma
City from KFDA in Amarillo, Texas, in May.
"I can't tell you how many times I've ridden over that spot,"
Losh said. "We work cattle there all the time."
Losh called his parents after hearing about the crash Saturday
evening but didn't reach them. He eventually found out through his
older brother, Chris Losh, that the plane had fallen on the
family's land.
"You still don't imagine ... that it would have been your
land," Losh said. "You think, `What are the odds?'
"It was eerie watching the daytime video. I've said it's
bizarre, but I don't know if bizarre even covers it. It's
surreal."
