A small plane crashed near Belfast International Airport, Northern Ireland, on April 19th.

The cause of incident is being investigated.
An Embraer EMB-201A Ipanema was en route from Paracatu MG to Goinia when the pilot had to make a forced landing in a field. The plane was commonly used as a cropduster.
The plane had had a fuel supply problem before but apparently this time the problem was in the fuel pump/power system.
The pilot was uninjured but the plane sustained some damage. There was no fire, but firefighters were on hand, and there was a fuel leak.
Centro de Investigação e Prevenção de Acidentes Aeronáuticos (Cenipa) will be investigating.
The piliot set crash site co-ordinates by CB radio but had to spend the night out in the elements as conditions prevented his recovery until 1 pm the next day.
The wreck was located at 10 in the morning Dec 26th, lying upside down with a wing torn off
What: BELL 206B crop-dusting helicopter
Where: Newton Texas
When: October 13, 2010
Who: pilots name not released
Why: After reloading the chemical tanks and refueling, the (registration 499BH ) N499BH BELL 206 ROTORCRAFT, lifted off while the fuel hose was still attached. The two seat helicopter went up, then, of course, crashed. It fell over on its side. One person on the ground was injured.
This is no joke, as someone on the ground was severely injured.
However, it still reminds me of high school, when my date at the drive-in left the speaker hooked in the window, and when we left, I also left the window. The speaker took it out, hooked on the frame and kept the car from moving. We didn’t crash, or fall over, or even dent my window frame. Of course, we were in a Pinto.
(I won’t go into how, when it was repaired, I tried to roll it up and it still wasn’t there, how the glass company goofed and replaced my perfectly good windshield, how I ended up with both a new door window AND a new windshield and an apology.)
It’s a good thing the helicopter pilot’s name wasn’t released. Even if someone else was doing the refueling.
How embarrassing.
