An emotionally charged day . . .

Today, just after I went to lunch, a huge black smoke cloud rose over the Convention Center across the street - we found out that an F/A 18 crashed into an apartment complex off of Birdneck road - just up the street from us. We watched the huge, billowing cloud from the library.

So far, we've been extremely lucky and no one, including the pilots who ejected with some injuries, have been killed.

My thoughts are with all those affected-Navy, EMS, Police, Fire, and, of course, the residents of the apartment complex.



A day later - the clean up and investigation begins.
