Well. I missed seeing it by 15min. It crashed 1 block from my house. Here's the scoop. looks like the pilot had just taken off, lost engine power banked left over our neighborhood. he tried to land down a street called Rudyduck drive. he tried to avoid a street light, clipped a tree with his left wing. That inverted him, you can see by the pics where he impacted the driveway inverted. the left wing hit the white truck and tree, then they slid into a house inverted and punched through the house. The pilot and front passenger got out in the house and came out through the front door of the house. Only scratches and bruises on the three people. all walked away.
Heres his approch, notice the tops of the trees

Holy crap those guys are lucky to walk away from that. Good to hear they'll be ok
-
Someone send that guy a SAPP invite!
Kidding aside. Glad they're all ok.

Can you imagine the homeowner's call to his Insurance adjuster in the morning, " Hello can I speak to FLO from progressive she is not going to believe this one" :O

Very lucky folks there. Heck of a crash but stuff can be fixed or replaced.

This probably an easy claim to verify. The insurance company would only have to google it for documation. :lol
-
Glad everyone walked away

wow
Rudyduck drive? :O

Thats the street he was on approach on ....

Cool turbo arrow. Nice bird, hope it wasnt an engine failure. The TSIO 360 has been under the microscope for awhile now.

Yeah, thats a turbo arrow. Nice bird, hope it wasnt an engine failure. The TSIO 360 has been under the microscope for awhile now.
I talked to the FAA guy on site and he said that it was an engine failure ... Plus its rare but he was taking off the opposite of the normal due to a wind shift yesterday. Otherwise he would have had all kinds of open space and fields to land in. This direction took him right over housing as you all see.
-
Did the turbocharger separate from the engine?
-
I also suppose an engine failure is about the only thing that would cause someone to put it down in a neighborhood, so that was a stupid thing for me to say. lol
-
Since no-one was hurt, I think these are very much appropriate.
- Landing, you're doing it wrong.
- My house used to be nice, but then it took an airplane to the knee.
- That'll buff right out.
But in all seriousness, that airplane must have been very well built if it could survive all that!

Glad everyone was okay.
Do you know the approximate time of the accident? I want to look up the winds. Please and thanks.

Police were dispatched around 1:30 pm on Saturday the 4th (Yesterday) There was not much wind.

S.A.P.P. Approved :aok

See and everyone says small aircraft are dangerous. Everyone survived.
Sucks that the plane is destroyed.
Waiting for the NTSB report.

Can you show me what's to the north west of that picture? Looks like that area next to the river would have been a better place to land.
-
I know dumb thing to notice but, maybe when they replant that tree they will remove the plastic from the rootball. :D
Seriously though, pretty freaking amazing that they survived that wreck. We have had 2 aircraft crashes in my response area in the last 2 months and none survived, not to mention the fact that they crashed in an open field to boot.
Very interesting pics Kamori

I used to work at a big orange home supply store, we had a 1-year guarantee on trees and shrubs; I can't count the number of times someone would return a dead tree with the root-ball still wrapped up like the day they bought it.

Go ahead and look it up on Google maps and look at satellite view. Its Kalispell, Montana The south side of town. You are right he had no business coming back over the populated area. The planes are supposed to make an immediate turn due west then pass the housing development then head south between our housing and a small mountain. But his call ...

Someone should send him an honorary membership patch.

Thanks, will take a look.
I understand why he started turning though. I assume he wanted to get back to the field and somewhere in the turn he though he would not make it and found a straight road in front of him to land on.

That's because the tree hadn't been planted. The rootball went thru the wing -- how the heck did that happen?

Next time someone says that tell them you live for the rush and call them sissies. Watch the reaction.

Maybe it was planted upside down. They may have thought the branches were the roots.
