Yes, it's about two miles from our place in Greenacres.
Nine dead after Greenacres Plane CrashYou can watch the video if you dare. It doesn't process - it looks more like a missile strike than a plane crash. It's also the most miracle of miracles...on a rainy Sunday, Military Trail looked deserted, and it just missed both a strip mall and a trailer park, otherwise we'd be talking dozens, if not hundreds, of ground casualties.
My aviation mind has immediately gone here. (Which yesterday was the anniversary, coincidentally.)
American Eagle Flight 4184
American Eagle Flight 4184, officially operating as Simmons Airlines Flight 4184, was a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Indianapolis, Indiana, to Chicago, Illinois, United States. On October 31, 1994, the ATR 72 performing this route flew into severe icing conditions, lost control and crashed into a field, killing all 68 people on board in the high-speed impact.
And footnote of all footnotes - a mere 8 miles from Mar-a-Lago on a straight line.
