3800 The Plane Crash In Wheeling, IL

[MIKES3]

Dont know if you all heard or watched the news, but I was on channel 5 in the background while one of my sales reps were talking. Took out the whole back side of our building. Over $250k worth of damage due to all the electrical and electronic components we stock. We were eating lunch inside in the office (Thank God) Normally we eat in the back where the lunch room was located. It sounded like an exploding freight train running loose through a nitro glycerin plant. I've had 2.5.7 fox news and cltv calling the hell out of my phone.

Crazy shit man

Not 100% sure as of yet, but there are 2 supposed speculations. Rumor has it that there was an oil leak on the left engine which caused that to stall. The other one was the pilot and co-pilot were father and son. The father was teaching the son how to fly. I think both freaked out and did not know how to handle a single engine plane in that kind of situation. You can still fly a plane if one of two engines blow.

I was pissed. We were just leaving to Old Country Buffet (The Troft) I was very hungry at the time. It was about 12:30 when this happened and I got stuck eating a gyro at 4:30 due to all that crap happening and I am still trying to figure out how all the new stations and news paper people got a hold of my cell phone. Weird.
