All the grandkids and parents came over last evening to paint pumpkins.  We had a blast doing that and once done, Grandma cooked up a couple of pizzas and everyone ate.

After lunch, the youngest, age 3, Chase, went into the play room where his “cars” are all placed and began playing by himself.  This is a normal thing for him to do.  He spends hours and hours in there playing with his cars.  There are legos in there as well and he likes building things, especially air planes.  He obviously had built one to his specifications and was playing with it and the cars.

I was making my way down the hall when he came out and closed the door quickly behind him, looked up at me and said “Plane crash broke cars” and was on his way to the kitchen and the other kids.

I did not think much about what he said until later when I went to make sure the light in the room was turned off.  That is when I saw what he meant.

Sirens were blasting in all the towers around the airport and nearby city.  Emergency crews were responding to all the 911 calls that were pouring into the dispatch offices all over the city and county offices.  Police, Firemen, CERT teams and volunteers everywhere erecting and readying temporary emergency facilities.  The whole scene was a mass of quick movement in every direction at the same time.

It was chaotic to look at from the outside, but very well orchestrated if you were a member of one of the emergency staff.

Everything had to be quickly put into place to accept the hundreds and hundreds of injured and/or deceased persons involved in the horrific accident that had come from a single large aircraft crashing into a parking garage filled with people hurrying about their daily business lives right at quitting time.

Bodies strewn in every corner of several blocks right in downtown city of origin.  Emergency and non-emergency people helping where they could to get help to those poor souls caught up in this terrible accident.  Luckily for all the area was not engulfed in flames.  Lord knows there was plenty of gasoline from the aircraft and the vehicles spilled everywhere in the streets.

And this is the scene as taken just after the accident was revealed.

How could anyone survive such an accident?
