So it was Monday morning... im driving to the Naha airport so I can get on my plane and fly to the states when.... BAM!!! a plane suddenly explodes outside the window of the check in station (i'm sure you all watch the news) and i was like... ah hell, I aint getting on this plane... but no doubt about it, I had no choice. So my plane was the one right next to it, which means it got delayed about 3 hours, which meant by the time I got to Tokyo, I had already missed my flight to Seattle (which then led to Chicago, then ATL). I was pissed, cuz I had my cat with me and he was scared shitless (literally, it was all over him) and they were telling me I had to pay to put him in a pet hotel for the night while they put me in a real hotel for free, I argued until they finally gave me the money for my cat. So I spent the night in Tokyo, and the next morning I got on a direct flight from Tokyo to Atlanta.... long trip but yeh...
Long story short...
I'm back in the United States... for good.

Yes it was empty, all the crew and people were evacuated safely before the engine (engine trouble caused it) blew up.

Oh thank goodness.
Glad nothing came of it.
Also glad you and the wife are safe.
Must've been unreal.

Yeh it was pretty crazy... kinda like Final Destination happening in real life.
My wife and daughter are actually still in Japan until Dec... so I'm pretty much on my own for a few months... XD
Oh... and I love my car!
