Yesterday afternoon, mikehonda and I were driving around looking at some properties. We stopped to let a sentra go by. Just then I hear a plane flying REALLY low; looked up and see it go right above our heads Before I can finish saying, "HOLY ****!!" looked to my right and see it crash into the power lines about 75yds away.

Power lines fall and started sparking in front of the LC. Mike jumped out to go help out w/ the plane. I parked it and called 911. Took me 3 minutes to get through Finally when I get through the 911 operator doesn't believe me, :sarcastic voice: "what? a plane crashed?" W/in a few minutes cops and fyrtrucks show up and Edison Electric soon after that. [thinks to self, daym these f00z are quick! ]

I grabed the digi and started snapping away....

scene from in front of my car


the sentra I let pass earlier. driver jumped out of her car, so the car kept going and crashed into the fence.


Cops tried to block mike and I from getting close, but it helps to have a big digi and claim to be media




AMAZINGLY, the pilot walked away w/only minor cuts and bruises

I had about an hour jump on pix before the media showed up, so I had thoughts of selling it to local newspapers. The cops blocked off my car and wouldn't let me leave for 2hrs, so by then it was too late

Some of j00 f00z maybe wondering why is this in the R forum? After mike and I were finally able to leave, Mike says fuggit. Eh? He bought himself another ITR...a 98

Cliffnotes:
- yoshi and mike almost gets killed when a plane crashed in front of them
- mike thinks life is short, so bought himself another ITR (98)

yshi - who is sunburnt and exhausted from a very eventful sunday


WTD seems to be down y'all have to see pix later when it's back up

H0ly parts everywhere!

 

Looks like he forgot he was in a plane and tried to stop for the upcoming Stop sign . Glad you guys didn't get caught up in that!

Brian

 

OMG! That is nuts! So glad you two are okay

 

holy crap... that is crazy.

 

DUDE! u dont see that every day...

 

rofl, that pilot got owned... someone chop it!

 

sure is glad his gah-deen-uh/tow-rinse buddies are ok!

 

 

thats crazy!! That picture should definately be the next OWNED pic.. Good pics

 

I'd say this crap doesn't happen everyday, but these little planes fall out of the sky more than people think. What's the deal with the COPS. WHen I lived in SD I lived in Murphy Canyon and there was a Small plane Air port on the other side. One Night a plane crashed and the police thought I was pranking and noone came till I called the airport and asked if a plane was missing. I am surprised they didn't put you on hold....

Can you imagine trying to tell your insurance Co that a Plane Crashed into your car???

Glad you all oare okay

 

so... where are the pics of the R?

 

that's probably one of the craziest things i've seen in my entire life...
