[Leica] OT: Plane Crash

[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

ironic they took out all electric power. The only way to charge your phone 
was to plug it into your gas powered automobile...
Extremely sad loss of some very talented people. Tesla will have difficulty 
recovering from their loss, not to mention their families. My heart goes out 
to them.

Great to hear you are safe. I note the occupants were with electric car
makers: not popular in California, where if my memory serves big cars are
very much the loved alternative ;-)
