When I answered it was my husband. He was out of breath and kinda freaked out. A plane had just crashed into a nearby building (1\/2 mile or so?) and everyone heard the explosion and felt the rumble. Well&#8230;he said he DID NOT feel the rumble. He was off in Codebodia. A place many of you may be familiar with. If not, ask a computer programmer. He or She will tell you. . .<\/p>\n<p>He tried calling on his mobile but couldn&#8217;t get through. I&#8217;m not really sure where he called from. It wasn&#8217;t HIS desk. ANyways, he was out of breath because he&#8217;d just run in from outside, looking at the smoke trying to figure out exactly where it was coming from.<\/p>\n<p>I immediately did a google search and didnt find much and BAM! it hit me. Twitter. Duh. SO I frantically typed in&nbsp; &#8220;plane crash #austin anyone know?&#8221; &#8211; or something like that. Then I clicked on my litle # sign and Bada BING! Information Jackpot.
