Gotta Love the Locals

This afternoon Jacksonville residents witnessed a deadly chemical plant explosion. Not to make light of the tragedy, but I couldn't help but laugh after reading a quote from this local news article.

Derek Pratt, 24, was flying a remote control airplane at a field about a mile away when he heard a series of explosions and a smoke plume extending hundreds of feet in the air.

"Those shock waves came straight through these hills," he said. "It was just like Hiroshima."

How does he know? Was he there?
