Watch Video Of Plane Crash Into A Tree And Flop Into A Parking Lot

- in Everything Goes

There’s no such thing as a minor fender-bender when it comes to plane crashes, but one pilot seems to have suffered the closest thing to one in Plainville, Connecticut.

Manfred Frost, a 79-year-old pilot, was on his way to eat breakfast when suddenly his plane crashed into a tree and tumbled to the ground. Fortunately, Mr Forst, who was flying solo, only suffered minor injuries due to the crash and was taken to a local hospital.

A Carling Technologies security camera captured the crash in perfect detail. The low-flying Cessna attempted to cross the parking lot, banking sharply to avoid the trees near the building. It missed the first tree…but not the second. The plane pirouetted in mid-air, then fell to the ground next to the tree.

Dave Thayer, a Bristol resident, was an eyewitness to the crash. He frequently visits Robertson to watch landings and takeoffs, was near the northern end of the airport’s parking lot when he saw a plane landing from the south.

“I was sitting down at the end of the parking lot here, looked up because I heard the plane. Saw it going directly across probably 200 yards from where I was sitting, knew it was going the wrong way obviously,” said David Thayer. He watched the plane crash right in front of his eyes.
