Bodies Fall Out of Sky After Planes Collide

CORONA, Calif. (Jan. 21) - Investigators picked through the gnarled wreckage Monday of two small planes that collided about a mile from an airport, killing five and raining debris and bodies down on car dealership parking lots.
The two small Cessnas crashed at 3:35 p.m. Sunday near the small Corona Municipal Airport, just north of the Riverside Freeway, authorities said.
Two people were killed from each plane, and a fifth was killed inside a Chevy dealership hit by wreckage, said Wayne Pollack of the National Transportation Safety Board.
"There were bodies falling out of the sky," eyewitness Hector Hernandez told KCBS-TV. "One of them crashed into the top of a Ford Mustang, and another one fell not too far behind that one on the parking lot."
NTSB investigators had yet to cut all the way through the wreckage of one of the planes, and were unsure about the number of passengers.
"Until we open that aircraft up we cannot be certain how many people were on board," Pollack said.
The smashed fuselage of one of the planes landed atop a parked car. A wing from one of the planes sat in a parking lot. The debris was contained mostly within a 300-yard radius, said Pollack, although some pieces were found as far as 1,000 yards away.
"The smaller aircraft ... just disintegrated into pieces, maybe fifty pieces coming down," eyewitness Jeff Hardin told KABC-TV. "The other aircraft pretty much stayed intact and started spiraling down and came down right behind the Nissan dealer."
One of the planes, a Cessna 172, is registered to William A. Reinke of La Habra, Calif, according to aircraft databases. Reached at his home Sunday night, Reinke declined to say who was flying his plane or who might have been on board.
"I only know what happened off the television," he said.
Pollack said investigators had not yet obtained a flight plan.
The other plane, a smaller Cessna 150, is registered to Air Corona, Inc., based in Dover, Del.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Allen Kenitzer did not immediately know where either plane was headed or whether there were any distress calls. The Corona airport does not have a staffed control tower, he said.
Before Sunday, there had been five fatal plane crashes in Corona in the past decade, killing 10 people, according to an NTSB database.

Michael Row the Boat Ashore" is a rowing song. That's not as obvious as it sounds. "Michael" is the only rowing song we know about that's actually about boats. It was first mentioned in 1863 as a song sung by black slaves in the Georgia Sea Islands. Pete Seeger, in The Incompleat Folksinger, mentions that slaves brought from Africa spent their lives on these small islands, out of touch with mainland life. "The only transportation was small boats and strong arms to row them," he writes. The boat crews from different plantations would have their own rowing songs, each song exclusive to the plantation. "Michael" is mentioned in the letters of some teachers who went to the islands in 1862-63.
"Michael Row the Boat Ashore" predates the Civil War. The history and origins of old Negro spirituals are generally obscure--the slaves didn't usually write things down, and their masters rarely thought slave songs were worth investigating. "Michael" is an exception, since we do have enough references to pinpoint the general origin of the song, if not its precise meaning.
Not only am I bored but I've had a few beers:)
The greatest song from the greatest band....IMO

Yes, it's that magical time of year again when the Darwin Awards are
bestowed, honoring the least evolved among us.
Here is the glorious winner:
1.
When his 38-caliber revolver failed to fire at his intended victim during a
hold-up in Long Beach , California , would-be robber James Elliot did
something that can only inspire wonder. He peered down the barrel and tried
the trigger again. This time it worked.
And now, the honorable mentions:
2.
The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat-cutting machine
and, after a little shopping around, submitted a claim to his insurance
company. The company expecting negligence sent out one of its men to have a
look for himself. He tried the machine and he also lost a finger. The chef's
claim was approved.
3.
A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his car during a
blizzard in Chicago returned with his vehicle to find a woman had taken the
space. Understandably, he shot her.
4.
After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found
that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare
to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver
went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride. He
then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that
the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies. The
deception wasn't discovered for 3 days.
5.
An American teenager was in the hospital recovering from serious head wounds
received from an oncoming train. When asked how he received the injuries,
the lad told police that he was simply trying to see how close he could get
his head to a moving train before he was hit.
6.
A man walked into a Louisiana Circle-K, put a $20 bill on the counter, and
asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a
gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly
provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the $20
bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer... $15.
[If someone points a gun at you and gives you money, is a crime committed?]
7.
Seems an Arkansas guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that he'd
just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze,
and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the
window. The cinder block bounced back and hit the would-be thief on the
head, knocking him unconscious. The liquor store window was made of
Plexiglas. The whole event was caught on videotape.
8.
As a female shopper exited a New York convenience store, a man grabbed her
purse and ran. The clerk called 911 immediately, and the woman was able to
give them a detailed description of the snatcher. Within minutes, the police
apprehended the snatcher. They put him in the car and drove back to the
store. The thief was then taken out of the car and told to stand there for a
positive ID. To which he replied, "Yes, officer, that's her. That's the lady
I stole the purse from."
9.
The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a man walked into a Burger
King in Ypsilanti , Michigan, at 5 A.M., flashed a gun, and demanded cash.
The clerk turned him down because he said he couldn't open the cash register
without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the clerk said they
weren't available for breakfast. The man, frustrated, walked away.
10.
When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home parked on a
Seattle street, he got much more than he bargained for. Police arrived at
the scene to find a very sick man curled up next to a motor home near
spilled sewage. A police spokesman said that the man admitted to trying to
steal gasoline and plugged his siphon hose into the motor home's sewage tank
by mistake. The owner of the vehicle declined to press charges saying that
it was the best laugh he'd ever had.
*** Remember... They walk among us!!! ***
thank goodness for many other disableds that he didn't wish to have the plug pulled so he could just "die"
Some people see it as an opportunity for greatness and not so negatively!
Take this guy for example!
Marco Sorani went to Princeton, where he was a swimmer and a water polo player. When he was 24, Sorani broke his fifth cervical vertebra in a body-surfing accident. Sorani lost the use of his legs and the ability to move his fingers. That accident led Sorani in an entirely new direction, one that has benefited him and many others.
Sorani saw a new opportunity and took it. He noticed that many of the 54 million disabled Americans like himself were not able to access websites. That was a sizable market that really needed some help. Sorani became the chief executive at SSB Technologies, a San Francisco firm that helps companies make their websites accessible to the disabled. SSB’s software can read captions out loud so that blind people can hear what is on the screen. It can also caption Web audio, enlarge linking buttons, and enlarge the text.
The U.S. government recently released guidelines for compliance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1998. Guess what Section 508 calls for? It says that all information technology systems deployed by federal agencies must be accessible to disabled people. The passage of this act meant that all government websites had to be adapted. SSB was ready to supply the government with the software to do the job.
and he can talk and walk!

lol hi lacy
I actually like snakes as long as they don't bite me!
I have a pic of me when I went to South Beach with two huge snakes around my neck that freak my coworkers out!
Have a great day!
where was that taken?
Hey you posted about snakes before, check this out...EWWW, it's gross Tina so don't look!
ELECTRIC FENCE
Seems a sheep farmer was puzzled
about the disappearance of some sheep on his farm. After a few weeks the farmer decided to put up an electric fence.
About a week later, this is what he found!
Now, I know we've all heard of people being eaten by snakes & I bet most of us have said,
"If a snake tried to eat me, I'd blah, blah, blah & get away."
Well, this is a Python & they're extremely aggressive & have a few teeth that they use to
hold their prey while they wrap around them & then constrict.
Could you get away if this one bit you & held on with it's
"few teeth?"
(Note: The wires are 10 inches apart.)
If you stole it from the beer board,
you better be glad admin caught you before I did.
LOL
Phil

Phil

I wonder if that would be too much pain to tattoo that on my forehead for annoying people at work? LOL
It's impossible to legislate against stupidity and ignorance.
Phil
It really is a funny siggie pic.
You should print it out and glue it on your bumper.
LOL
Phil
well when I was taking business law, I remember a case of a family suing the velcro makers because their kid made a parachute using their product
don't remember the outcome
I know
I'm just joking
but do think it's funny!
I haven't read the lawsuit,
But it's most likely someone whose loved one was killed with a handgun.
As if the gun pulled it's own trigger.
I wonder when people will start suing the automobile manufacturers for allowing cars to go too fast or get involved in accidents?
Phil
I haven't done anything to get put in jail for.
Of course I didn't last time either.
LOL
Phil
there's pending law suits
damned l_ _ _ r_ _s!
They would ask you to remove it before jailing you.
Phil
Then why did it fall 40% earlier in the month?
Phil
better stop talking to me!
you might be next
I think I'm bad luck lol
but it is funny isn't it?
I bet they laugh first and then throw me in the tank! lol
there's been recent news about increased handgun sales
and if this economy keeps going to the shitter, probably be even higher in 2008
I think Admin might frown on that siggie pic.
LOL
Phil
I didn't know Raw was in jail again.
Phil
