NOT a Pretty Way to Land

Smart couple - declined to talk to reporters at the scene. The report actually was not badly done, and thankfully nobody gave any really stupid sensationalist quotes.

Very glad they walked away.
 
"Certainly the aircraft suffered some damage, but most significantly, the people were able to get out safely," That lays out the priorities right there. Glad they walked away :)
 
That's the ugliest high wing I've ever seen...

True. I guess they mounted the gear on the wrong side of the plane...

I remember back maybe 20 years ago one of the majors had a crash and reported it in their annual report as something like "inadvertant conversion of an aircraft". Maybe this accident is the epitome of that when you convert a low wing to a high wing :rolleyes:
 
Those are the forced landings that actually scare me.

You either screw up badly thus putting yourself in the situation or end up in the situation because of no other choice due to the environment where you have no energy left, no altitude and a game over kind of hill right in your face.
