Trip to Wal-Mart. Dad's Surgery. TV News About The Crash of Airline Plane.

Yesterday morning, I talked to Mom and Joe I wanted to go to Wal-Mart.  Mom said I should have to wait until today but I must go there right away cuz I needed to buy more food there.  Both Joe and Mom gave me the green light.  I had to leave home after eating my lunch.  Joe dropped me off at Wal-Mart that early afternoon.  At Wal-Mart, I bought small storage boxes for my makeup items and other things cuz those things were so mixed up in 2 drawers in the bathroom of my big suite.  And DVD movie, "The Princess Bride" that starred in by Robin Wright and Cary Elwes.  The movie was made 20 years ago, remember that?  That's one of my favorite movies all the time cuz I love romance and adventure.  This movie is also funny.  LOL!  Otherwise, I can't find a set of 3 DVD movies, "Lord of the Rings" in the other dept.  Next time I will find it when they are an available on a display.  And then I went continuing to do shopping.  Joe picked me up when he returned after I finished shopping.

My Dad had a surgery yesterday.  He's getting better now.  The right side and under of the right ear of his head was operated successfully.  Dad is resting now but he did do errands for Mom and me this morning.

While I am doing this blog, Joe informed me that he heard an airplane crashed into the freezing water in NYC on TV news when he came into my big suite and then I immediately turned on the TV news special report to find out.  He also said the bird struck that airplane.  OMG, I can't believe what I saw on TV news.  I heard the water in Hudson River is very cold, 35 degrees.  Thank God, all of passenagers and crew are alive and safe.

News about Castro and Regis

Did u hear about Cuban President Fidel Casto resigning today?  I guess Fidel can't do a political stuff anymore due to his illness.  I am hoping Cuba will change the law alike U.S.'s.  It means a freedom for Cuban people.  Cuban Americans in Miami are happy when they learned Casto is resigning.




On "Live with Regis and Kelly" this morning, I heard Regis Philbin is becoming a grandfather now.  Yay!  Congratulations to Regis on being Grandfather!  The name of his new grandson is William Xavier.  Xavier is Regis' middle name that had been decided on by his parents.  William was born yesterday morning, Feb 18th at 6 am.  He's 6 lbs.  I am happy for Regis.  Soon, Regis will fly back to L.A. to do Oscars and meet his new grandson.

Big Headline News: I-4 Highway Accident Causes by A Heavy Fog

U are probaby heard about a terrible accident on I-4 highway, between Orlando and Tampa, on the national TV news yesterday and this morning. The breaking news on a local TV news cut off my favorite TV talk show when it came on and discussed I-4 highway accident. I was upset. I missed watching it for one hour. That TV news station was doing it again and should not be cutting off the program anymore. Anyways, an accident happened on I-4 highway yesterday early morning, before 6:30 am, due to a heavy fog. Drivers were having time to see anything clearly when there is a visionary zero in warning advance and traveling too fast. There were about 70 vehicles piling up everywhere. 4 killed. 38 injured people were sent to some hospitals nearby. Other drivers stuck in there for several hours since the accident. I-4 between Orlando and Tampa remains closed since yesterday. I don't know when it will be reopening. I-4 is where Todd and I were on the way to our honeymoon destination, Tampa, almost 10 years ago. Here is a link from a local TV news station about I-4 highway accident below:

July 10, 2007: Small Plane Crashed Into 2 Sanford Homes

This morning, I was watching, "Live With Regis and Kelly" shortly after 9 am but this program was interrupted by a local TV news station suddenly. It's a breaking news. Not again. I complained little bit. Learned that a small plane from Daytona Beach crashed into 2 homes that were destroyed by a fire in Sanford, north of Orlando. It was trying to land at an airport nearby. I can't believe what I saw on the TV news. Here is an article online from a local TV news:
5 Killed In Sanford Plane Crash
SANFORD, Fla. -- A small plane crashed into a Seminole County neighborhood on Tuesday killing five people and sparking a fire.

It happened at the Preserves at Lake Monroe subdivision along Wilson Bay Ridge Street, WESH 2 News reported.

One of the victims aboard the plane was identified as Dr. Bruce Kennedy, a plastic surgeon and son-in-law of Bill France Jr., the former head of NASCAR who died earlier this year. The second person aboard the plane was not immediately identified.

The plane was a Cessna 310 enroute from Daytona Beach to Lakeland when it reported smoke in the cockpit and declared an emergency. It crashed about 3 miles north-northwest of Orlando-Sanford International Airport and was registered to Competitor Liaison Bureau Inc. of Daytona Beach, Federal Aviation Administration representative Kathleen Bergen said.

State officials said Competitor Liason Bureau is a company registered to France.

In addition to the five deaths, at least three people, including a man, a woman and a child, were critically injured, and two helicopters were called to transport the victims to local hospitals, Sanford Police Department spokeswoman Cleo Cohen said. A search is under way for a 4-year-old child missing since the crash.

An off-duty Lake Mary firefighter was also treated for chest pains after rushing into a home to rescue a 10-year-old boy without an oxygen tank. He was transported to a hospital.

Neighborhood residents said they could hear the plane over their subdivision before the aircraft crashed into two homes.

"First I heard a plane flying overhead. It sounded like a semitruck coming down the road trying to slow down. As soon as it hit, it exploded into flames," a witness said.

Video from Chopper 2 showed two homes were gutted by the crash and fire. A third home was also damaged. Multiple fire engines are at the scene working to extinguish the flames. Neighbors said they were terrified in the aftermath of the crash.

"A boy jumped out of the second story. He was on fire and extinguished himself. The wife ran out of the front door. She was on fire. Someone was screaming about a baby still inside the house," a witness said.

The subdivision is located along Riverview and Narcissus avenues. The homes in the subdivision are only a few years old, reports indicated.


When I found out Dr. Bruce Kennedy is the son-in-law of NASCAR chairman, Bill Frances, Jr. who passed away a month ago, I was surprised to learn that he is related to Bill Frances, Jr. who created speedway in my hometown in the 1950s. Anyways, a local TV news kept continuing to report about that terrible situation for 3 hours. It was a big news this morning.
