The picture of the pilot is just unreal. Like something out of a cartoon.
IT WAS like a scene out of a movie. A small cargo plane, flying over a busy highway, began losing steam and doing cartwheels in the sky over Florida.
Then it struck a warehouse, clipping its right wing, and crashed into a grassy swale on the side of the road — just metres from oncoming traffic.
I was reminded of when a Super Constellation crash-landed in a field, not far from where I lived. I should be able to map it: my guess is it would be a much worse disaster now. If memory serves, it crossed University Drive from the west and skidded across what was then an undeveloped plot of land. I can’t quite recall how far south it was but I’m thinking it was between Southgate and McNab. We drove out to see it, I think, or were perhaps passing by and pulled over to gape.
