Breaking News. At least this pilot in Miami was able to safely land on a beach.

The biggest complaint I heard from people living near or next to a big airport is the residue jet fuel residue can leave depending on the wind and amount of rain.

Or the dreaded "blue ice" ...

This gets sadder and more infuriating by the day.

Apparently the pilot says he never saw the victims.

I realize this was a tragic accident but this pilot is rapidly losing benefit of the doubt.

Just heard on the news that the little girl has died. So sad.

Just saw your post about the girl Pappy, that is very sad. There's so many small plane crashes, I'd really hesitate to ever fly in one.

Another small plane crash fatality in a parking lot in San Diego.

This pilot and passenger weren't as lucky as the beach landers. On the message boards many of amateur pilots seem to fear water landing as much as flat dry surface because there are greater chances of tipping( although the San Diego crash the plane apparently spun). This plane also clipped a building and hit a light pole then catching fire.
