People unclear on the concept dept.
Just turned off the 10 O'Clock channel 9 news here in LA, a single engine
plane (identified as Aero Commander) went down short of Burbank airport, both
people on board survived. The Pilot was lucid as he was being cut out of the
wreckage & said he ran out of fuel over Eagle Rock & was trying to make
Burbank airport.
Remarking about the lack of fire, the Fire Marshall in charge of the rescue
said, "They are just lucky there was no fuel on board".
