Jenny and Janell Barnes had been home from high school for about a half an hour when the plane went down in a field about 50 to 75 yards behind their house.

''It was the awfulest noise, the whole house shook,'' said Jenny Barnes, 18.

Her sister, 15, said the plane sounded louder than those that normally go over the house, but she wasn't concerned until she heard the bang.

The girls looked outside and saw the burning debris and called 911. They then went outside to take a closer look.

''I wasn't sure I wanted to go, but if there was someone there and I could help them, I wanted to be there,'' Jenny Barnes said.

The field was scattered with pieces from the plane. Blood and what they assumed were body parts were on the fresh snow. The girls could hear nothing other than the crackling of the fire. The smoke was thick and smelled like exhaust, Janell said.

There was a big piece on fire that Janell said looked like a wing. She didn't see anything that looked like the main body of the plane.

Jenny said the girls got within 10 to 20 feet of the wreckage, but didn't want to get any closer because they were worried about the fire.

''I don't see how anyone could have lived through that,'' Jenny said. ''I just keep thinking how lucky me and my sister are that we are alive and the plane didn't hit our house.''

''I'm pretty shaken up, I don't think I'm going anywhere on a plane soon,'' Janell said.
