Monday Morning, news.

The aircraft accident in the Keys was apparently filmed by the blimp the plane hit. Look for it to surface on Youtube any day now. I also find the description of Cudjoe Key as "a remote island' a bit off.

SOUTH FLORIDA

8 killed in 2 separate crashes of small planes

The U.S. Coast Guard identified five friends whose plane went down off Fort Lauderdale hours after another crash in the Keys.


Five friends who were headed to the Bahamas on a fishing trip were among eight killed in two separate plane crashes off the South Florida coast this weekend.

U.S. Coast Guard searchers late Saturday had found some debris, but no survivors and no explanation for the crash of a Piper Aztec that dropped off the radar about 17 miles off Fort Lauderdale on Saturday morning, said Petty Officer 1st Class Jennifer Johnson.

The night before, off Cudjoe Key, three people were killed when a Cessna 182 crashed into Florida Bay. That plane took off from Key West and was in restricted military airspace when a wing struck a cable tethering a blimp. The pilot and two passengers were not identified.
