otherwise she might have fallen off the wing. and then as he tried to make his way back into the open area, he didn t have enough altitude so he went down in the brush just across that across the runway. after the wreckage is cleared, the crash site provides clues as to what split-second decisions kyle made in an attempt to save and amanda s lives. this is where the plane went down. and after looking at the site, it appears to me that he was trying to turn back towards the runway because there s a tree up there that has some branches missing at the top and if he was coming from that direction, that implies that he was going back towards the runway and he just didn t have enough altitude to make it. despite not making it to the runway, kyle still manages to get the plane in a good position for the rescue. if he d gone in another 20 or 40 feet east of here, the fire trucks wouldn t had been able to
they had a boat already in the water for the race and i believe some coast guard as well. holy crap. the pilot and the passenger are under water. did they get out of plane? they re out. but both managed to swim out of cockpit and onto a pair of wave runners that arrive on the scene. the faa will probably want this footage. once i saw that the pilots actually got out, and then it was sort of like a relief. in this case, because we had the race going on, emergency crews were actually already on the property so they were almost to get there almost as soon as it happened. looking at the tape, it seems like the plane is going to land on the runway, so why did it suddenly drop? after the crash, darby says he s able to talk to the pilot, who tells him something shocking. apparently, ditching in the water is intentional. from what i heard, the passenger in the back actually pushed the stick forward to push the plane down into the water because he knew that they weren t goin
of how quickly things can change. i m always cautious of my surroundings, but like standing where johnny s at now, i m a little bit more like a little bit more observant. see people come in their cars and too fast and they made noise, i get nervous. coming up a small plane misses the runway and crashes into the bay. and a runway mishap at jfk airport leaves passengers shaken when caught on camera: crash returns. [ man ] i ve been out there most of my life. you name it.i ve hooked it. but there s one. one that s always eluded me.
amanda could get back inside the cockpit. he had to get amanda back in the airplane before he actually could adjust his direction, otherwise she might have fallen off the wing. and then as he tried to make his way back into the open area, he didn t have enough altitude so he went down in the brush just across that across the runway. after the wreckage is cleared, the crash site provides clues as to what split-second decisions kyle made in an attempt to save his and amanda s lives. this is where the plane went down. and after looking at the site, it appears to me that he was trying to turn back towards the runway because there s a tree up there that has some branches missing at the top and if he was coming from that direction, that implies that he was going back towards the runway and he just didn t have enough altitude to make it. despite not making it to the runway, kyle still manages to get the plane in a good position for the rescue.
holy [ bleep ]. plunging the pilot and passenger under water. oh, my goodness. it was just unbelievable to me. march 25th, 2011, dave darby is spending the afternoon at albert whitted airfield, a small airport just outside of tampa, florida. my buddy, kirk, who s been building this air control tower back here, he s been doing it for the past year and a half. i hadn t come out to check it out yet, so he wanted me to come and see it, so we decided to conveniently come and check it out the day the honda grand prix was going on. the honda grand prix is an open wheel indycar race and portions of the airport, including east-west runway, become part of the actual race course. the tower provides a perfect view to watch the race, so dave decides to bring his camera along. we were on top of the tower on the roof and i was just shooting just footage of, like, everything that was around, and
