Re: Fw: Plane crash



Wow.

I just found out through a Christmas letter that one of my cousins is related by marriage to one of the Pennsylvania coal miners who was rescued from the horrible situation we all heard about a few weeks ago. I hope your brother is okay.
Precarious indeedy. Life is much too short to let the business roundtable try to run our kid's lives for them. To work, to arms, onward through the fog!

OK - I'm using my free (off the subject) pass for 2003 already --- just had to share this story. Look what happened in my brother Bob's backyard on New Years Eve! Should remind us all how precarious life is, so let's go for it this year and slay this high stakes testing beast!

Father, son on plane injured in Cobb crash

A father and son were injured in this Cobb plane crash.





A father and son were seriously injured after the plane they were in crashed into the yard of a south Cobb County home Tuesday.

The single-engine, four-seater Piper Cherokee was trying to land at Fulton County Airport-Charlie Brown Field when it went down about 5:30 p.m. in the back yard of a house in the 1800 block of Pinecrest Road near Austell.

The father was taken by ambulance to Grady Memorial Hospital. The 12-year-old boy was airlifted to the hospital. Both suffered serious head injuries, officials said. Their names were not released.

The plane crashed barely 10 feet from the house, but didn't damage it. The residents of the house were not injured.

Homeowner Robert Elliott told authorities he was washing dishes when he saw the plane come crashing down from his back window. Late Tuesday night, Elliott left to stay with relatives as a steady flow of curious onlookers stopped to see the plane.

The plane was registered to the Morale, Welfare and Recreation Fund for Fort Meade, Md., an Army post. Authorities found tickets for the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl inside the plane, leading them to believe the father and son were going to the game between Tennessee and Maryland.

County fire Lt. Dan Dupree said the plane may have been low on fuel because "there was no fuel on the ground." National Transportation Safety Board investigators are expected to inspect the plane Thursday morning.
