Mooney Crashes into Hydro Tower

Post by broken_slinky »

Looks pretty foggy in the rescue video. Haven't checked any weather details yet. Luckily both survived both the crash and not getting electrocuted.

That's pretty impressive on so many levels.

Kudos to all the engineers involved!

This GA pilot was clearly under the influence of fatigue.

It's one of the rare occurrences where an electrical issue is caused by a plane crash.

Before you guys get all amped up, I have it on good authority that the pilot was current on his aeroplane..
