Uh-oh.

I hear the clamor of base closure in not-so-distant future.

And those 25 tons of flying metal and fuel were all made by the lowest bidder as well. :-)

Don't forget, built by the lowest bidder.

Yeah - but maintained by some of the most awesome people in the world (but then, I'm biased).

Doesn't sofaman live in La Jolla, a mile or two west of there?

Who do you think was the FAC for the plane? The guy is amazing! (and ladies - he's hot too)

..suggest to the offending station ,that while covering “live breaking” news they should minimize the “crawler”...if enough people made suggestions, maybe they would.

Hi AQ.

We're about 3 miles from there. My BIL & SIL live less than a 1/4 mile from the crash, just on the other side of Governor Dr.

Little scary, but we're fine, thank you.

That sounds like right where the jet crashed. I hope he and all the other sofas are ok.

He is a few miles from the area.
I am around 10 miles south of the area

Does anybody have a link to live coverage that is likely to play on my lame Blackberry? That link didn’t work for me.

Thanks.

Oh, good, sofa! Glad to know you and yours are unharmed. Did you hear or see the accident?

They moved to Fallon, NV years ago. Switch off the movie channel.

But, but,...OK!

Actually Fox did mention that SCOTUS denied the Donofrio case an hour or so ago.

Hey champ! Long time.

For those who know the area, UC High is also less than 1/4 mile from the crash site. This could have been a disaster.

At least two homes destroyed according to wits.

Would that be Nit of Half?

Hey there, just saw your post.

Pilot being taken to the Naval Hospital & Medical Center.
That is around 8 blocks up the street from me.

They’re interviewing Steve Diamond, ex-navy pilot. He’s a friend of ours. Went to his retirement on the flight deck of the Constellation before it was mothballed.
