At 1:04 PM today, my mother-in-law sent me this text message: "Plane went down on sand at 13th street." We live on 4th street just Northwest of the Seal Beach Pier (Main Street), and 13th street is just Southeast of the Pier, so I was surprised that I didn't hear more commotion outside. How could a plane crash so quietly? I was in the middle of doing homework when I received the text message, but after a few minutes hesitation, I grabbed my camera and headed to the scene.
