Small plane crashes In Denver

Per Denver News Channel 7, a small plane crashed at Centennial Airport in Denver, Colorado, on Wednesday; two people escaped without injury.

Initially, some on Twitter thought it was something bigger based on this report:

@BreakingNewsOn: BULLETIN -- PLANE CRASHES AT CENTENNIAL INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IN DENVER, COLORADO.


Especially in light of recent news, it led to some rumors and overreaction.

@sjlong (Lexington, Mass.): I wish I didn't travel so much - RT @BreakingNewsOn A plane has reportedly crashed at Centennial International Airport in Denver, Colorado


@kwellman (Toronto, Ontario): Now a plane crashes in Denver? Three this month...



@jettjodi (USA): @redban glad to know you weren't on the denver plane that crashed an hour ago!




@RealtorRyan (Thousand Oaks, Calif.): I have family in Denver and I've always hated taking a plane to visit.



A national editor at CNN quickly downplayed the news.

@stevebruskCNN: Small plane had its front landing gear collapse at private Centennial Airport outside Denver, no serious injures.
