Portable toilets cushion small plane crash in Washington

PUYALLUP, Wash. - A small airplane dropping from the sky after its engine failed wound up on a cushioning bunch of portable toilets - and the pilot was able to walk away apparently unhurt.

Gary Mayor of the Federal Aviation Administration says the Cessna 182 crashed Friday afternoon in Washington state after taking off from Thun Field, an airfield owned by Pierce County southeast of Tacoma.

Sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer said the plane was about 50 metres in the air when the engine quit.

Troyer told the News Tribune that the pilot tried to turn around to land but didn't quite make it.

The plane hit a fence, flipped over and landed upside down on top of the portable toilets standing in a storage yard.

Authorities didn't immediately give the pilot's identity.

Not sure if this in bad taste but...I would image that this video and plane crash end in the same way...

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you!

Spent some time in the military, the nasty prank was to push the portajohn over door side down with some poor fool inside (you can't get out) Now, I just cant look at that flying crapper without imagining a prank... guy goes in the crapper, next he knows is he's being slung by a chopper.
