Where: East Windsor, Conn
When: Saturday August 30
Who: pilot and passenger
Why: The plane lost power 200 feet from the runway at the Skylark Airpark Saturday. The pilot and passenger crashed in treetops and were stuck in the tree until help arrived. A tree surgeon climbed the tree, and set up a pulley to rescue the pilot and passenger who were apparently unhurt. The pilot was an instructor who “maintained an airspeed where he was in control and buffeted [the plane] into the top of the trees. That’s what saved both their lives.”
Jet Airways had to make an emergency landing at Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport, Nagpur, India, on March 22.
The aircraft was flying from Delhi to Chennai when the crew was reported that there was a bomb placed in the plane, prompting the plane to land at the nearest airport.
The plane landed uneventfully. The bomb threat was a phoned-in hoax that grounded five planes.
All passengers onboard remained safe.
