Jacksonville Times Union reporting two bodies found in wreckage.
Interestingly, same article reports two chutes found *two miles* from
crash site.

It's hard to imagine rear chutes getting high enough to drift two whole
miles, while the front seats didn't even get out of the plane. I can't
help but wonder if that's correct.

Depending upon the plant's altitude at the time of the ejection, it
could have gone a mile or two before impact. I don't think it had that
much altitude -- just sayin'.

What we really have here is early reports, unconfirmed. The bodies in
the plane have not been confirmed, nor has it been confirmed that the
'chutes were even from this incident.

Although I'm a Times-Union alum, for the moment I'm putting more stock
in the Channel 4 report that an eyewitness saw two people punch out.
