Looks like the Plane took off, had problems, tried to turn back but had to make an attempt at landing on the road.

Well that's cuz that's where the airport is. If Langley had an airport than you'll see more planes crashing there

Langley does have an airport, just a smaller one

i was driving home from work, heading northbound on russ baker. just before gilbert, i noticed a small aircraft heading towards me from an angle, flying very low. next thing i knew, the aircraft hit the ground, slid across the road and left a trail of fire. the fire was creating a lot of thick black smoke. a lot of people pulled over and rushed over to help. the first firetruck arrived on scene probably within a minute.

the passengers were stumbling out of the plane with the help of passerby's. the radio station said all the passengers made it out ok (no mention of the pilot - hope he's ok).

The_AK 10-27-2011 04:55 PM

Guys.... stay safe

apparently the pilot hasn't yet been located. plane held 7, 6 have been pulled out alive, pilot is MIA

how the eff is the pilot MIA?

The only thing rolling around in my head is that he had a parachute and he jumped out?
But, that seems highly unlikely

I've yet to meet a pilot who would jump out of his plane and let his passengers die.

CharlieH 10-27-2011 05:13 PM

^

maybe he booked it out of the plane as soon as it crashed because he was under the influence or something LOL

WTF? So the pilot ditched his passengers?

"Well looks like were crashing. We have 1 parachute onboard so goodbye guys, good luck."
