Glad you're safe. Any first hand report that you can share?
I don't know how much of the details have been broadcast nationally and I haven't read every post on this thread, but here are some first hand observations:
I was at work when the plane went down - about 6 miles away. I first heard about it on the radio and then checked out FR to get a "media summary."
My kids had a 4:00pm karate class and we drive down 56th Street to get them there. My wife, thank God, was running late and came upon the crash site just as the firetrucks were arriving. The intersection she passed through is about 80 to 100 yards from the crash and she said she could feel the heat from the fire as she drove by. Police were already on the scene chasing away the curious. She tried to call me , but she couldn't get a cell signal.
A Fort Lauderdale fire truck caught fire after leaking fuel flowed down the road and under the vehicle. The fire fighters were caught by surprise and one actually dropped his hose while trying to douse the truck. I thought that they automatically turned off when let go, but the hose flailed around for a bit before they got it under control.
I drove by this morning at 5:00am on the way to the gym and there was still a lot of media and police at the site. They had lights set up and the burnt out airplane looked very creepy there in the street.
The miraculous part of this, of course, is that no one was killed or even seriously injured. The pilot missed power lines, houses, most cars and all people. The crash site is about a 1/4 mile from Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, home to nationally renown Dr. D. James Kennedy, about 1/2 mile from three different hospitals (if you drew a triangle on the map from one hospital to the other the plane crashed almost exactly in the middle). Floranada Elementary is about 6 blocks away and the plane flew right over Northeast High School. There are several apartment complexes nearby and he missed all of them. The pilot showed extreme skill in putting it down with limited ground damage and then being able to walk away from the crash.
God was certainly watching over the pilot and the neighborhood.
