Has to be. Looks like impact was in front of pits but close to box seating. Last time I was there box seating was more towards the center of the viewing stand. Hope you and family came out OK. Prayers go out to those that did not.

Went into box seating, 50 Feet from myself and family in stands. Lots of 
people perished (dozen?). Very sad day at the races.

This report says Box Seats but it looks more like the Pit Area. Fox News 
showed a film clip that look like it was taken from the stands on the 
far end from the Pit Area near the top and it SEEMS to far away from the 
box seats.

Either case, the do-gooders will want to ban the air races. I do feel 
compassion for the victims, and their families, however…. This should 
not cause the races to end.
