Damn, vertical "landing"... no flames makes me think no fuel...

I was coming down Pensacola @ 8:46 and saw the cops up Ocala. Missed it by ~5-10 mins.

I was on Tennessee (in ABC of course!) when this happened, and had to take a look.

people were coming out of albertsons, and were like, "is that a plane"...funny stuff.

I just talked to some cops and they said he was flying from DC to Tallahassee and ran out of gas. I would say that is pretty shitty piloting if you ask me. How do you run out of gas over Tallahassee when there are so many airstrips around here to land at?

I live right up the road...wondered why traffic on Ocala had basically stopped in front of my place...and then I started getting calls from friends asking if I was alright. I was actually napping when it happened. Weird.

that happened to be one of my distant cousins, he was flying his plane down here to meet my mom and some other people. when she told me about it last night she said he broke his leg and was pretty banged up but nothing life threatening, if i find out the cause i'll let yal know.
