North Carolina's worst air disaster
occurred when a small two-seater
Cessna 150 plane, piloted by two
local UNC students, crashed into
a cemetery earlier today.
Rescue workers have recovered 300 bodies so far and expect the number to climb as digging continues into the evening.
The pilot and co-pilot survived and are helping in the recovery efforts.

Thanks to my good friend & retired airline pilot named Bob in Texas for this bit of humor...

"If there is anything in my thought or style
to commend, the credit is due my parents
for instilling in me an early love of the
Scriptures. If we abide by the principals
taught in the Bible, our country will go on
prospering and to prosper; but if we and
our posterity neglect its instructions and
authority, no man can tell how sudden
a catastrophe may overwhelm us and
bury all our glory in profound obscurity."
- Daniel Webster (Founding Father)

once every year." - President John
Quincy Adams
