Plane crashes into water near Marathon; no one injured By Diana Moskovitz The Miami Herald By Diana Moskovitz dmoskovitz@MiamiHerald.com A small single-engine airplane crashed Monday near Marathon in the Florida Keys, according to federal authorities.A Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman said the number of people on board the fixed-wing, single-engine Waco YMF was not confirmed. WPLG-ABC 10 reported that three people were on the plane, and that no one was hurt. The crash happened about 2:35 p.m., FAA spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said. The circumstances behind the crash were unknown Monday afternoon, Bergen said, but somehow the aircraft ended up in shallow water. Teresa Scott told WPLG she was with her husband, eating lunch on the water, she noticed the Waco coming down.“The next thing you know, the plane started to slowly get closer and closer to the water and we were watching it when the plane actually nose-dived right into the ocean,” Scott told the television station. Scott said she and her husband went to the plane to help, WPLG reported. When they got there, a fisherman already had gotten three men out of it.FAA records show the plane is owned by Conch Air Corp., based in Marathon. Pictures and videos posted online show the aircraft as a tour plane, draped in bright red and yellow paint, taking visitors on aerial tours of the Keys. Conch Air’s website said it offered scenic rides starting at $55 a person for an eight minute “intro ride” for two. The prices go up, depending on the length of the trip.Unless you are 100 years old. Then, the website said, the ride is free.

Especially if someone else pays for it and says you're going to Aruba......

My bookeeper's son went down in the lake in Minnesota in a By Plane about 10 years ago(as a tourist), he was fine. The Detroit news called his Mother at home(East Jordan Mi) to ask if he was ok. He never called his mother to tell her what happened. I would think that downing a plane is kinda big, might let your loved one know?

There is nothing worse than having your Mom find out something you did from a newspaper - no matter how old you are...

Ok, now it's stuck:

Agents of the law
Luckless pedestrian
I know you're out there
With rage in your eyes and your megaphones
Saying all is forgiven
Mad Dog surrender
How can I answer
A man of my mind can do anything
CHORUS:
I'm a bookkeeper's son
I don't want to shoot no one
Well I crossed my old man back in Oregon
Don't take me alive
Got a case of dynamite
I could hold out here all night
Yes I crossed my old man back in Oregon
Don't take me alive

Can you hear the evil crowd
The lies and the laughter
I hear my inside
The mechanized hum of another world
Where no sun is shining
No red light flashing
Here in this darkness
I know what I've done
I know all at once who I am

CHORUS
