Tornado Hits Sun 'n Fun
About 70 people were reported trapped in a collapsed building at the Sun 'n' Fun aviation fair at the Lakeland Linder Regional Airport in Florida due to severe winds, the weather service said. CNN affiliate Bay News 9 said "preliminary reports" were that a hangar at the airport had collapsed. Additional details were not immediately available. (www.cnn.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Amazing storms, most people said it was straight line winds vs. a tornado. Having been there with my head down I can tell you it didn't quite matter! Air show folks got things cleaned up pretty good but still the only "dry" ground was at the Cessna display... can you say wood chips!!!
The people who restored the Eastern DC-7B tell me that the personnel and aircraft are just fine, no injuries or damages. Thank God, they had spent a lot of efforts and money.
The next day it took me 4 hours to move 3 miles, just to park, because the amount of water created large amounts of mud. Traffic was bad, but show excelent.
Holy cow! Unbelieveable...hope everyone who's effected by this is safe and secure whereever they are. Also, if the Space Shuttle is damaged in annnt way shape or form, I'd be asking the people at NASA to seriously consider scrubbing the launch, at least until they can inspect it, and make any of the necessary repairs ASAP. We've all seen what even the slightest bit of damage to those vehicles can cause.
this is terrible..........
chris 13 you don't seem to have seen some warplanes that were abolutely intact; of course they were tied down good.
