Default Piper Apache Down In Bloomington, IL

Word is that he was 20 miles SE of KBMI and encountered a "rough
engine."
He did a 180 and headed back towards Bloomington which put him almost
in line with rwy 29.
I drove past the crash site going to work this morning and it looked
like he was slightly south of the extended centerline to rwy 29. Looks
like he just barely missed some power lines. I'd say the crash site is
maybe a 1/4 mile from the end of the rwy. Much of the wreckage had
either been burned off or been taken to a hanger by then.
Had this happened on the approach to rwy 20 it would have been about
150yds or less from my apartment and some housing developments.
Luckily, not so much for the pilot, the crash occured on the
undeveloped side of the airport, out in the country.

Oddly enough, FlightAware shows the flight as arrived.
