Officials praised the military community to get together to evacuate the neighbors from the scene in many cases before the first aiders arrived.

“I can't praise her enough for what you did on site,” said Eddy. “For me it is a bit like a miracle, isn't it? A plane hits her house – I don't know exactly how they got out, but I know that neighbors helped them get out,” said Eddy. “And that is the beauty of what I love in this neighborhood, and the military that is militarily that looks at each other.”
