ORLANDO, Fla. — A day after three people were killed when the helicopter they were flying in crashed into a home in College Park, the homeowner still can't comprehend what happened.
Pilot Bruce Teitelbaum, his wife, Marsha Khan, and passenger, Harry Anderson, died when their helicopter crashed into a guest home on Alameda Street.
Carole Finch said she was planting flowers near her pool on Sunday when the helicopter came crashing down.
"I heard the rotor blades and I turned around and this big huge explosion and I ran out here and I saw the wood flying," Finch said. "I ran into the house, because I had no earthly idea."

"How do you comprehend, 'A helicopter just flew into my house?'" asked Channel 9's Shannon Butler.
"I still really haven't," said Finch.

Finch said they will rebuild the structure but worry about the victims' families dealing with rebuilding their lives.
"Such a devastating loss of life, and I'm sorry about the people we lost," she said.
Authorities said it's too early to tell what may have caused the crash.
The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Administration are investigating the accident.
