Steven P. Administrators Posted January 10, 2022 Administrators Share Posted January 10, 2022 A pilot who crashed a small plane onto railroad tracks was pulled alive from the wreck by a group of Los Angeles Police officers just moments before a commuter train roared through, authorities said. Video of the harrowing rescue shows the officers pulling the bloodied man to safety seconds before the commuter train, blaring its horn, smashed the Cessna 172 into pieces. The plane crashed around 2:10 p.m. Sunday, shortly after takeoff from Whiteman Airport in the San Fernando Valley community of Pacoima, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The timestamp on a police officer’s body camera shows the train smashing the plane at 2:15 p.m. Source: https://apnews.com/article/los-angeles-b521e05f4217dafc0bcb9697409d923 Pilot should go buy a lottery ticket, and props to those police officers!

+Jester124 Subscriber² Posted January 12, 2022 Subscriber² Share Posted January 12, 2022 Wow. Very lucky to be alive. I feel bad on how they had to pull him from the wreckage. That will be a rough one on both the pilot and the officers.
