Well said, Michael. It is sad how tethered people are to their cell phones, tablets, etc. Some…Read More cannot even wait a few minutes to do their "brown business" in a public restroom without talking on their cell phone.

A body is found floating in canal waters and no foul play is suspected? Really?

They should arrest Fred Bretz aka "harry finster" for stalking.

Parents were encouraged to take their kids home. We were even called while the kids were at the…Read More Armory. There are approximately 700 kids at the school so not sure how only 200 were evacuated. Maybe that number does not include all of the students turned away at morning drop-off, and possibly many busses were rerouted? The school staff, law enforcement and emergency personnel did a fine job today. Venetia Valley families are thankful!

as a parent it is my experience that the parents are usually far more shaken from these sorts of…Read More events up than the kids. Many of the kids view this as a fun event as kids do. For them it was something new to do. Glad it turned out to be a hoax or false alarm. Onward. .

Flushing unwanted medications down the toilet or throwing pills in the trash can cause unintentional…Read More safety and health hazards, according to the police. By now I think this phrase needs to be restated as... Flushing unwanted medications down the toilet or throwing pills in the trash causes safety and health hazards. We know this causes problems. This has been stated publicly many times. Now when people do this (flush meds down the drain) they are intentionally causing damage (it should no longer be considered unintentional). We need to make people take full responsibility for their actions or their ignorance. It would be like stating that driving while drunk can cause unintended safety and health hazards when in reality driving while drunk can cause intended safety and health hazards. People need to be held accountable, no excuses.

This article initially (and incorrectly) said the accident was off southbound 101. We just confirmed…Read More with the California Highway Patrol that it was actually off northbound 101. Sorry for any confusion we caused. We regret the error.

I am the airport manager Mary Hanley refers to above. I was out of town on Friday and was not…Read More interviewed for the Patch article or any other article regarding this landing. The descriptions she objects to seem to have come from the police on the scene, and seem pretty accurate to me based on the photo attached to the article. I would note the photo shows the plane came to rest ON the runway (i.e, the plane did not slide OFF the runway), which is typical in belly landings where the landing gear failed to extend. These are minor incidents that rarely if ever result in any injuries and typically the plane is repaired and put back into service.

More of a hard landing than a crash. Looks like the landing gear was retracted, possibly due to…Read More pilot error or mechanical problems.
