Small Plane Crashes on Emergency Landing (VIDEO)
When this French pilot was forced to make an emergency landing in a field, he was unable to land perfectly and crash-landed instead, rolling over multiple times. Luckily, no one was injured in the accident. (www.liveleak.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]

He screwed up by flying at an aerodrome with trees and furrows. There were probably bunnies in the furrows too...
I take comments as an opportunity to learn. I ask myself 'what would I have done in that situation?' I live in a big city and do all my flying at an airport with 10,000 feet of concrete runway and that seems just as wide. So an engine failure in a C152 at takeoff is plain vanilla compared to what his bloke had to contend with. I didn't know about the 'land parallel to the furrows' (see below).
This is not to say that all comments are created equal, "some are more equal than others."

appears the engine locked up (catastrophic internal failure) fuel starvation would be a gradual stop. The pilot's situational assessment of 'merde' was spot on.
I know straight out on engine fail, but the road on his left was just a slight bank and he would have been fine. Alas, I'm arm chair coaching :)
I was happy for the pilot...UFF!
