How fast does your camera have to be to catch the prop blade flying away?
Is that a King Air?

Ok, let's count the number of times that they used the phrase "crash landing" in that article. That is a term that I wish would be stricken from every journalism department on the planet.

I did, used twice:
"the plane circled above Woodbourne for about half an hour, preparing for a crash landing" That usage is normal and reflects good practice.
The other time the term was uncalled for. emergency landing would have been more accurate.
Overall, a well written piece.

Line Up and Wait
The mighty D Model 1900. I really enjoyed flying that airplane a bunch but I can't exactly call it a passenger's airplane. The prop blades are composite and are bonded to a nickle leading edge strip. When they fracture like that pieces can find there way through the side of the airplane. Glad no one was hurt.

Is there really such a thing as a non-emergency crash landing???
Silly reporters.
No, but there is most certainly a non-crash emergency landing...which is what I would have called this incident.
I'm not disagreeing that the article seemed to be better researched than most...I just hate the connotation that anything other than a normal landing is a "crash landing".
