And, check the comment section at the end of the article. Basically what you'd expect with an accident of this sort.

Fortunately it appears that nobody was hurt.

Wow. "Cessna 456, you're #2 for landing."

Say, I used to go hang out at Thun all the time when I lived in Washington. Is Avidyne still based there?

I don't know. I haven't flown into Thun yet. The N number checks out to a C-182Q in the area.

I've heard of a potty in an airplane, but an airplane in a potty ... never mind.

Pilot: "Oh crap!"

Passenger: "No shi...!!!"

and for the record, sir, how would you rate your last landing?

That looks like the perfect off-airport landing spot - kind of like those sand-filled barrels on the interstate highways.

150 feet into the air, his engine quit. He banked and tried to make it back to the runway

Dang. Do pilots never learn?

....nope......

A classic case of the fan hitting the sh*t...

Wow, that was a really ****y landing. (Sorry...that pun was too irresistible)

Looks like a great place for a Cessna to me!

I'm gonna go ahead and nominate this for the best one liner ever.

If I read the article right if the motor quits and faced with the choice of making the runway or landing on a porta potty I should choose the latter because the landing will be "softer"?

The officer clearly isn't a pilot.
