Airplane explosion on Fort Wilderness Beach...(UPDATED WITH PHOTOS)
...My younger brother is over at Fort Wilderness Campground right now and I thought I 'd pass this bit of interesting info on to all of us here.
Last night on Clementine Beach at Fort Wilderness (the beach near the boat dock and the Hoop Dee Doo Revue), there was a huge explosion that shook the entire nearby Trail's End Restaurant. Apparently the entire area was ropped off and all that he could see last night was part of plane and lots of fire balls. Don't worry, a plane didn't crash into FW or anything, turns out it was all a practice for a convention being held tonight according to a guy working on the effects that my brother talked to.
Around 6-7:30pm tonight, there will be an ESPN convention with over 300 people being held over at the Backyard BBQ at Fort Wilderness. The attendees will be coming in on a boat first where they will witness a little show...The entire evening event is being centered around Disney/ABC's hit TV show LOST. The folks on the boat will first hear a plane coming in using loudspeakers and then they will witness a decent size explosion on the beach at Fort Wilderness leaving behind what appears to be a crashed airplane (much like on the TV show). Then they will take people off the boat and onto the beach, take them around and past the destruction and then into backyard BBQ.
My brother said that they were re-setting up things today after last night's practice and that there are a lot of propane tanks and what appers to be "dynamite" being put into the sand. He's hoping to catch a video and/or photos of it tonight. Unfortunately, he won't have access to download them until next Monday when he returns home..but when he does, I'll try and get them up as soon as possible
