    Engine Falls Off of Plane


    Here’s something we don’t hear too often:

    A plane’s propeller blade broke off, vibrated and the plane’s engine broke and fell off during flight. People survived this, so we can presume the flight didn’t get too high.

    On Sept 10, 2013, a Vintage Wings of Canada Boeing PT-27 Stearman took off and crashed with two aboard.

    The plane crashed right after takeoff from McGill Airfield. The two aboard the plane suffered minor injuries.

    Fire trucks and ambulances responded to the scene.
