I pray it is nobody here or their friends or family. Prayers goto all involved.



MIAMI BEACH, Florida (AP) -- A propeller plane carrying at least 19 people crashed Monday off Miami Beach, and at least two people were killed, authorities said.

The Chalk's Ocean Airways plane went down shortly before 3 p.m.

"We're still trying to get people out of the water," said Javier Otero, Miami Beach Fire Department support services chief.

He said two people were confirmed dead.

Otero said the plane was one that regularly flies to and from the Bahamas, but he did not immediately know whether the aircraft was incoming or outgoing.

A witness, Frank Amadeo, told WSVN-TV that he saw a huge explosion in the sky and the plane fall behind a condominium tower on Biscayne Bay in Miami Beach.

TV helicopter footage showed debris in Government Cut, the channel that ships take past South Beach into the Port of Miami.

Law enforcement officers searched via boats and helicopters and were joined by others in private boats, on Jet Skis and on surfboards.

Chalk's Ocean Airways was founded in 1919. Its floating planes take off in the water.

Chalk's aircraft have been featured in TV shows such as "Miami Vice."

I was a local South Beach surfer for more than 20 years and always wondered when it would happen. I'd say it's a pretty good record for that 47 y.o. plane to have never before fallen out of the sky.
