Two recent events plus one from Florida

It's nearly midnight on 7th January, and there's not a single post since 6th.
Here's a link to a recent mishap;

Haven't found further updates, but that last report says the pilot was stable.

Going back to 30th December, another pilot landed on a Tasmanian beach after apparently running out of fuel. I'll seek a link.

But on tonight's news was another mass shooting at Florida airport. Hope Joe was well clear.

Not to mention the passing of 'Ickie' from SOH on 23rd December.

Oh dear, just when we all look towards a New Year bringing us more hope and a better future!

I'm sure Joe will pop up to let us know he is safe.

Hey mates
The incident happened at ft Lauderdale airport . I'm 45 miles north ... Just a half mile south of palm beach international.
Thanks for thinking if me.
I'm rather speechless about what happened. Senseless about sums it up. To say it was tragic for the victims and their survivors doesn't quite quantify it.

Still 45 miles too near Joe but great to hear that you are OK. Feel sorry for the victims and families and from what you wrote:

Senseless about sums it up.

I totally agree. Just a senseless act of col blooded murder.

Stay safe.

Regards
Nigel.
