During The Storm. The Smoke Is From The Plane Crash.

13 June, 2006. During the storm, a twin engine plane came barreling into the Peter O' Knight Airport at about 90 mph and crashed into a house that belonged to the owners of Tate Brothers Pizza on Davis Island. I talked the FAA about 5 hours after the crash as an eye witness and apparently, I was the first person to shed light on the fact that one of the engines was out and the landing gear was not down. The news was even reporting that it skidded off the runway. It may have touched the very end of the runway but this plane came in fast and crashed hard.
