I finally got a short response from my brother Pete today. He's been busy with family issues, and promised a longer response later. He did, however, forward an updated link to articles about the accident in the local paper:
http://www.kansas.com/news/local/article3468723.html Note that there are links to additional articles along the left side of the page. If you try to look at too many of them, though, it will ask you to spend 99 cents for a 30 day trial subscription. I did that and was able to read all of them.
One of my sisters gave me a little more info. One of the fatalities was the wife of a former co-worker of hers from when she worked at Boeing in Wichita. The lady was a Ukraine native working as a translator for a Russian pilot inside one of the flight simulators. Three of the four fatalities were inside that simulator. The fourth was the pilot who crashed the plane into the roof. My sister said part of the landing gear landed on Pete's car in the parking lot. She also said Pete has been working in a nearby Flight Safety facility.
