Man Who Survived Broward Plane Crash Leaves Hospital

A man who survived a small plane crash with his wife in northwest Broward County last month was released from the hospital Friday after spending nearly three weeks recovering. In a flash McKenzie became a patient nearly three weeks ago when his plane dropped out of the sky in the Everglades. "I feel great, it's hard to believe how much time has gone by but it's great to be able to see what the outside of the hospital looks like," Kenneth McKenzie said. It was hard to tell where he was injured because of a unique way doctors fixed him up. Doctors may have given him new skin, but the accident definitely changed what's underneath it.
