Ack...city life
The weirdest thing this evening. A friend calls me to check in because he saw a plane go down into a vineyard and he thought of me...I say I haven't heard anything yet... After we hung up I turned on the TV to watch for early reports. I tune into Jeopardy just in time to hear the clue, "What agency is it that investigates civil aviation accidents?" Then a 2nd call came in on my cell wanting to know if I was flying today...
Then, one of my nephews called and said he saw the plane go down too, thought the pilot was maybe making for a nearby golf course. Nothing officially yet but it looks like N299X lost power shortly after takeoff at KPRB. Both pilot and the one pax suffered moderate injuries.
Not because this happened close to home, nor because it happened at an aprt I fly out of...Because of the phone calls do I feel really weird about this. It makes it too easy to imagine would it would be like if it were me... God forbide it should be my wife getting the calls...
I pray their families receive the comfort they need right now.
