Hard to process two aviation accidents in Florida so close together. A helicopter came down in Biscayne Bay on Wednesday morning, past 11 a.m., off Key Biscayne by Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, the water south of downtown Miami. It followed a jet crash in Palm Beach County that killed nine people three days before. Rescue teams got out to the bay quickly, and the aircraft's emergency floats were visible on the surface. Three people were aboard, a pilot and two passengers, and at least two of them were taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital. Why it went down is still unclear, with the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office heading the investigation. Please pray for everyone who was on board and the crews working to bring them home. Is it just bad luck, or does Florida have a bigger aviation safety problem?
