I live in shark river hills and was at a house up the street from the marina at a party. Everyone at the party heard the deafening roar, then silence. People outside thought it sounded like a plane nosediving. Well they were right. I drove down to the water and there was nothing to see. A witness to the crash said he saw the plane come from the west (over the house i was in?!?!) and dropped down into the water, no explosion, just quiet. The bottom of the river is thick mud the plane is most likely stuck in that. I will say by the noises we heard at the party it sounded like the pilot was struggling to keep the plane in the air till he was no longer over a populated area. Horrible tragedy today. To make matters worse, there was also a large apartment fire on the Belmar side of the river, took 4 floors. Definatley not a slow news day.
