Yes - that is my Publix - the only store I grocery shop at. Mark was in the back yard and heard the plane sputter and then heard what he described as a big metal door crunching. He came in the house and said "I think a plane just crashed". What?! We went back outside and saw a plume of smoke. I remember saying "I hope it isn't Publix or Lowes." It turned out that it was Publix. :( I am devastated. I run in Publix to pick up a a few things three or four times a week. I only go to Publix. I don't know what I am going to do now. There isn't a grocery store between home and work. The closest grocery store is Walmart and I HATE Walmart. ^^^^ WHINE!!!^^^^ But the important thing is that miraculously no one got killed and only a few got hurt. Another thing is that all DeLand Publix employees are still working. They were transferred to other stores temporarily and I believe that some may even be helping with the cleanup. In these hard economic times it is nice to hear that a large corporation took care of its employees when it could have easily laid them off. Kudos to Publix for that.

The plane stalled out and was not flying anymore. Possiblly the engine lost power or flamed out. I did not see any signs of engine thrust and there should have been gobs of output for that manuveur.

I thank you for pouring me my gingerale Liz. I do appreciate you. Thank you flight attendants and pilots. (((victims and families))) whether they "survived" or didn't. They'll all be affected forever. Best wishes for speedy healing! jem, while there are several pilots in my family, I have no idea about open throttles, so I can't draw conclusions. I know about pitch, yaw, etc., but how they all work, I've no clue. I'm betting open throttles and stalled/idle engines is probably over the majority of heads? Probably. So what conclusion is to be drawn?

And greater still, I didn't pick that error out until you did!
