Remy Colin escaped with only a minor head injury when he was forced to makeon a busy street in Orlando, and fortunately no one else was hurt in the incident. But the plane’s proximity to cars and power lines meant that that if he had descended a few feet to the left or right things could have been very different.
A video shot by an occupant of a car heading up University Boulevard shows the plane heading towards them, but above the lanes taking traffic in the opposite direction. It drops rapidly, leaning to the right at the last second before crashing into the ground on the sidewalk in front of a private residence., freely admitting that the accident was his fault.
managed to set his airplane down without causing damage or injuries on a mercifully fairly empty Highway 74, but the plane in the second story wasn’t so lucky.and clipped a car on his descent, causing the plane to spin out and burst into flames after spilling aviation fuel across the road. Fortunately the pilot and the drivers in the surrounding cars weren’t hurt.
