Re: F-18 crashed in residential area in San Diego
 

Yea it was so tragic.

I couldn't understand the strength he had to call the pilot a hero so soon after.
I fully understand what he means but after that kind of loss to think that clearly and be so in touch with the world.

He's a strong man, I hope his family rests peacefully.

We had a f14 go down few years ago locally. Always sad.

Re: F-18 crashed in residential area in San Diego
 

When I lived in Sandy Ego for 21 years this sort of thing happened a couple times. The first was when I was in the Navy, and lived in the North Park neighborhood. A commercial airliner crashed 3 blocks from my house.

The second involved a Miramar-stationed A-4 Skyhawk that crashed in the industrial park where I was working, just three blocks away (Sorrento Valley).

The community of Sandy Ego has had a lot of tragedy to deal with in the last couple of years...God bless them.
