The sky is falling...

...well, it's not the sky...it would be more accurate to say that planes are falling out of the sky. Two of them, in fact, needed to make emergency landings...today...within a couple of miles of each other here at the Jersey Shore. Of course, they were sign-towing planes...a fixture over the beaches in the summer.

I apparently just missed seeing one of them, but I turned off the road before I got tied up in the resulting traffic. I did see an ambulance rushing to the scene, but figured it was just a typical automobile-based accident.

Anyway, this Asbury Park Press news update gives a brief description of the emergency landings and this image from Google Maps shows the two locations of the incidents. The green pinpoint marks the first emergency landing while the red one shows where the second plane came down.
