Yeah I should be on my way home now but I work right across the street from the airport practically and traffic isn’t moving at all on my street since they closed the highways… It’s crazy, ---

It is totally tragic, so far they havn’t said if there was any casualties, hopfully there was none. It sux a lot if you are stuck in the traffic too, so hot and humid outside too, its brutal. ---

Yep, I’m still at work, traffic is still not moving. BUT they just released the fact that apparently there were NO CASUALTIES. So that is good. ---

I got paid to sit in traffic for over an hour because of that. w00t. Good to hear everyone survived though… pretty lucky considering the plane apparently ripped into 2 or 3 pieces and was totally engulfed in flames. ---

I got to smell it at work (I work REALLY close to the airport), glad to see everyone was okay, and by the time I was done work (11pm) traffic was clear anyway, so worked out good overall. Except for the nasty burning smell I had to put up with at work. ---

I work across the highway from the airport. When the flames where high we could see them from the second floor. :shock: Completely crazy considering the plane crash, power outtage and (cell) phone line saturation… wow! ---

Yup, I work in an aluminum plant right there. It smelt like something burning… We thought it was one of our presses or something, so there was a bit of a ruckus with the mechanics running around checking every press. Killed like 5 min of work for me 😃
