Seaplane down off Miami Beach....

Boy, I sure hope that's "all" it was. (Who'd ever think we'd be saying that
kind of stuff?)

With everyone describing an "explosion" (which the video tends to
support) -- and Chalk's not having to do much in the way of security
screening, as a small carrier -- this could easily have been some kind of a
nut-job with a shoe bomb and a "cause".

That seems unlikely as the video seems to show the fuselage pretty well
intact and the wing separated. Unless the wing has a luggage locker, I
doubt it was a bomb.
