Videofact: a falling plane almost rammed a car on a highway

Light aircraft, falling on the road, almost rammed the car.

An unusual incident occurred on March 12 in the vicinity of Buttonville Airport Toronto. A small plane Cirrus SR20 flying over a towing car passing along the road, fell. The incident was reported by an eyewitness, who posted a video in Instagram that was probably captured by his DVR.

There were no casualties. There were a male pilot and a female passenger on the plane. They were an instructor and a newly licensed pilot. It all happened while practicing a landing with an immediate takeoff. For what reason the plane flew over the road itself, touching at the same time its wing, it is unknown, as it is not known why it appeared over the road.

There is information that before performing the “landing - immediate take-off” exercise, the instructor ran the plane, and during the first part of the exercise, everything was fine.

As for the driver who posted the video on the network, he, talking about what happened, said that he could consider himself lucky. The plane flew just a few meters from his tow truck. Having believed in his "lucky star", after what happened, he bought a lottery ticket, hoping that luck would not leave him.
