Plane Crash In Neighborhood

Category: Family | Photography — JRBlack @ 14:18

On the evening of March 30, 2011, a small air plane lost it’s bearing in poor visibility and low cloud ceiling and crashed into a neighbors house up the street.

Moments before the crash, Kim took Caitlin to dance and I was home with the boys. I was out back in the yard with Amber when I heard what sounded like a car crash or transformer blow. Later inside the house a friend from outside the neighborhood called to see if we were OK, that they heard reports of an air plane crash in our neighborhood. Parts of Sandy Ridge Rd were closed down and Gallimore Dairy Rd. The area was marked off like a crime scene and Kim and Caitlin were unable to get home till much later in the evening with a police escort through the scene.

Although the pilot and passanger died in the crash, God blessed the familiy in that home and all survived without injury... though it was a close call by about 8 feet.

Below are a few pictures I took with my cell phone that evening.
