Holy smokes! A plane just crash landed in the East Bay, landing "in a rock quarry near an Interstate 80 on-ramp in Oakland." According to KCBS, "the nose of the Cessna 172 stopped near a sand pile in a vacant lot, just south of the West Grand Avenue on-ramp to westbound Interstate 80 near the Bay Bridge." (We just saw a CBS 5 van race over the bridge, presumably on their way to the scene. Eeps!) Luckily, no one was seriously injured.



Does this mean I should wait to go back into the city? Crap.
I have to say that when I first read "quarry" I was hoping it crashed into those excrable condos on the site of the old Oakland quarry down 580.
So what's the criteria for deciding if an item deserves this bare-bones formatting, or the more luxurious, bandwidth-heavy (yeah, I'm on a PDA frequently) treatment?
