Heat, Fires and a Hero

What a busy day.. So many things happening at once. Started my self study at work today. had the first Quality area finished quickly and then after I printed it out I lost it all, so then I had to start typing all over again. Thank goodness I had printed it out hey!!!

The weather to day was disgusting, I mean 41.8 degrees, come on.. Fires were burning everywhere across the city., In kings park there was a huge which was deliberately lit and then some in the hills. the smoke was coming towards work and the skies were very "overcast" in colour. It was really the smoke haze. The smell of smoke was very strong to and brought back many memories of the Canberra fires. NOT A GOOD MEMORY. The fires were contained and the smoke began to die down about 3ish this afternoon.

This shows the threat the fire had on the Old Swan Brewery

Saw on TV this morning about a plane having an emergency landing in the Hudson river in New York. The plane lost it's engines because in ran into a flock of geese. How amazing is it that he could land without engines flying over Manhatten and then safely land in the water and ensuring all got out safe.. This pilot is really a hero. All survived and he wouldn't leave the plane until he had checked it twice to make sure everyone got off. What an amazing thing to do.

Photo taken of WA Today, unsure of the photographer but it shows the poor passengers standing on the wing of the plane waiting for ferries etc to rescue them from the freezing waters.

Printed photos at Big W this arvo after paying the rego on Big Red (my car) and then finally home to relax. What a day!!! Let's hope tomorrow is a little less eventful.
