Plane Crash

In a completely this-could-never-compare to the situation that happened on 9-11, but it is still a tragedy none the less , when we flipped on the TV to put a movie on for the kids around noon, the channel was on NBC {normally it’s always on PBS} and there was this headline:

Navy F/A-18D crashes into apt. complex

We literally turned the TV on within minutes of it happening.
Watching the footage on the screen, I turned to Ben and said, “I can only image what it was like on September 11th to watch the planes crashing, and not knowing what was going to happen next. The fear. The uncertainty. This is crazy!”

For those of you who know the area, this happened on the way to the oceanfront, off of Birdneck road. {Beth, the exit we would take to go to Ocean Breeze, instead of heading south, head north, and it was about 2 blocks up.}


My heart goes out to those whose life has been turned upside down in a matter of seconds. I am so grateful to the first responders who risked their lives in this tragedy!
