HARDIN, Ky. -- An explosion in western Kentucky turned out to be the plane crash that wasn't.
Marshall
County Sheriff Kevin Byars told The Paducah Sun that a motorist
reported possible downed aircraft Saturday night near Hardin in Marshall
County.
Search efforts were called off two hours after the report.
Byars
and Duane Hawes, deputy director for Marshall County Emergency
Management, say a motorist reported hearing a boom and seeing an orange
glow around 8 p.m. Emergency responders from Marshall and Calloway
counties searched between Hardin and Dexter but found no aircraft.
Hawes
and Byars say a church group shot off fireworks in the area about the
same time as a gas container caught fire and exploded, creating a loud
noise. Byars says that caused the motorist to make the report.
