Florida has not had much luck with airshows/events in the past week or so. First the fatal vintage plane crash and now this. I hope everyone trapped makes it out.
there saying many planes flipped over too. 70 people were suppose to be in the hangar. Thanks for the live feed...I am glued! My prayers are with all the people affected. very sad
CNN is reporting that it may be a tent? airport video LOOKS DESTROYED! Planes are flipped and scattered about.....very sad!
It is now being reported that it was a tent and not a hangar
