Day 191 - Oh, The Irony
Jul. 10th, 2009 12:33 pmLast night, around 10:15pm, the lights flickered and I thought oh gee, I hope the power doesn't go out. Shortly after that, I fell asleep. I woke up about 6:30am to find that the light I hadn't turned off before I went to bed, was out. Huh. I guess the power did go out I thought. I sort of drifted and dozed until my alarm went off and then got up to get breakfast.
The news in the morning paper... Apparently, at 10:30pm last night, a small plane crashed half a block from where I live. When I say small, it's an eight seater. I figure that means it's a two engine propeller plane, but I could be wrong. Anyway, witnesses say it fell from the sky, exploded on impact and burned dramatically with thirty foot flames. Two people are dead. So I'm guessing it carried no passengers, just the pilot and I dunno, a copilot? Navigator?
More details will surely follow as to why it crashed but one of the witnesses said it sounded like the pilot was trying to pull up out of the dive. Not sure what that'd sound like but there you go.
