I’m within the 10 KM radius of the plane crash yesterday night. The Learjet in Philadelphia I mean. Feels surreal.

What’s the closest you’ve been?

    My dad once had an engine failure shortly after take off, and had to ditch into a bean field. He was fine plane was only a little damaged. I helped him fix the wheel, and get the plane (well, ultralight) to the highest corner of the field so that he could take off down the hill.

        I believe so. Irecall my dad saying that when he contacted the owner to explain the situation and offer compensation, the farmer said not to worry about it.
