when they crashed into the brush, she was inside the front cockpit. they leveled out so that 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 plane. 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.
because 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 the cockpit and onto a pair of wave runners that arrive on the scene. dude, 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
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 get there. so he did a masterful job of at least getting it into a position where the rescue crews could get to him. it truly is amazing. coming up a carjacking leads to a dangerous high-speed chase. and later, a vintage warplane takes a dive when caught on camera: crash returns.
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. expected wait time: 55 minutes. your call is important to us. thank you for your patience. waiter! in the nation, we know how it feels when you aren t treated like a priority. we do things differently. we ll take care of it. we put members first.
oh, my goodness. it was just unbelievable to me. march 25th, 2011. dave darby is spending the afternoon at albert airfield. a small airport just outside tampa, florida. my buddy kirk who has been building this air control tower back here, he has been doing it for the past year and a half. he wanted me to come see it. we decided conveniently come to check it out on the grand prix was coming on. on the grand prix, they open wheel indycar race, and portions of the airport, including our east-west runway become part of the actual racecourse. the tower provides a perfect view to watch the race, so dave decides to bring his camera along. we are on top of the tower on the roof, and i was just shooting this footage of, like, everything that was around. then i noticed that there was a bunch of these old war planes that were taxiing over here on
