Video was just released of a small plane crash near Houston’s Hobby Airport that killed three members of an Oklahoma family.

A National Transportation Safety Board spokesman says the plane crashed at 1:12pm Thursday into a vehicle parked outside an Ace Hardware store in the 6800 block of Telephone. No one was inside the parked car, but all three people aboard the plane died immediately. The National Transportation Safety Board investigator described what the plane was doing seconds before crashing yesterday near Hobby Airport.

“It showed that the aircraft was relatively nose level and relatively wings level spinning counter clockwise to the left at the moment of impact,” NTSB Investigator Tom Latson said.

Police in Moore, Oklahoma, have identified the victims as Tony, Dana and Jerry Gray. Dana and Tony were married; Jerry was Tony’s brother.

“Dana was a very safe pilot. She loved flying. She’s been flying that plane for a very long time,” said Jeremy Lewis, a family friend and also a sergeant for the Moore Police Department. “Pretty much anyone in Moore know who the Grays are. They’re very involved with the community. They’re just the best people and it’s just unbelievable three of them are gone.”

Fallen golf great Tiger Woods is melting down and “acting like a child” behind closed doors, an insider alleged to RadarOnline.com.

“He can’t handle adult conversation at all and spends hours watching kids shows on TV, making model airplanes and even collecting stamps and sticker albums,” claimed the insider. “He’s totally detached from the real world, it’s like his mentality is that of a 10-year-old kid!”

As Radar exclusively reported, Woods, who didn’t bother to attend the prestigious Masters Tournament in April, has become reclusive, living in self-imposed-exile at his posh Florida mansion, where the father to daughter Sam, 8, and 7-year-old son Charlie wastes endless days just hanging out.

“There’s really nothing I can look forward to; nothing I can build toward,” Woods recently confessed of his sad life.

And it doesn’t appear Woods’ situation will get better anytime soon. The former superstar player hasn’t won a major tournament in three years. In the meantime, he’s had to watch as his exes Elin Nordegren and Linsey Vonn both move on with their lives.

As for the golfer’s big goals? “Tiger’s biggest obsession right now is comic book and comic book movies — especially those of Hugh Jackman and his signature character Wolverine,” the source noted. “He has become obsessed with putting together a full collection of Wolverine comics.”
