Plane crash on way to Utd game

Mon May 13, 2019 12:26 pm

A TEENAGER saved from a burning plane has thanked hero passersby who pulled his family from the burning wreckage and declared: “We are very lucky people”.
Football fan Jack Moore, 19, was flying in the plane with sister Billie Manley, 16, and pilot uncle Stuart Moore when disaster struck on their way to see Manchester United play.
The light aircraft hit overhead power cables and the plane burst into flames when it attempted an emergency landing on a busy road.
Pilot Stuart had taken off from Abergavenny Airfield in South Wales to fly to Old Trafford to see Cardiff City face Manchester United.
The plane burst into flames on the A40 in Monmouthshire — but incredibly did not hit any passing cars.
Jack said: “Absolutely unbelievable that me and my family have walked away from this, just want to say thank you to the passersby that helped us at the scene and also the emergency services.”
Police said the three passengers were treated for their injuries at the scene.

The pilot is an absolute f*cking tool and shouldn't be flying planes, heard from reports second crash and he's lucky he didn't kill anybody else.

He severely delayed a lot of fans travelling up as the A40 had to be closed in both directions cause of this planks crap flyin skills, lets hope he gets a good kicking.

Ah, Fakebook! :thumbright:

For the record, he didnt actually 'crash'; he made an unscheduled (emergency) landing that potentially saved all three lives, partly thanks the savvy actions of certain people on the scene

No 'mobile phone footage first' thoughts for them! :thumbup: :clap:

Surely the OP should have said they were on their way to watch Cardiff City play! :)

it was an emergency landing which means there was a problem other than crap flying..
personally id prefer to miss a game and 3 pple live than maybe continue flying with a problem and just fall out of the sky...but yes a kicking should do it...any suggestions for who should carry it out ?
that bloke that chased you maybe.? he sounded pretty nasty.
