Holy crap. Run that frame by frame and you’ll see the plane’s engine get shaved off by a simple fence post, and one of the wings whirls like a spinning knife within inches of that man’s shins. He got about as lucky as a person can get, twice in the same second.
(First ever Reddit post, figured this was a good one to start on)
I actually work for the airport and was one of the first responders to the scene to secure the wreckage. The aircraft lost the engine on takeoff and attempted to circle back to land and was unable to make the runway. What you don’t see is prior to impact, the right wing clipped a palm tree and a light pole, slowing the aircraft and forcing it to the ground. The tail struck a tree first and ripped off, followed by the rear portion of the fuselage on the fence corner, then the left wing into the fence pole.
It was a miracle the aircraft didn’t erupt in flames since it was full of fuel and headed for a cross-country flight.
A lot of things could’ve gone horribly wrong (well, more wrong) but thankfully everyone survived with minimal injuries.

More fences should be made by whoever made that one.. Jesus it took multiple hits from a plane and didnt even bend
At what point do we call it a crash and not an emergency landing?
Greased the landing
A metaphor for adult life.
Look left and right before crossing the road, then get hit by an airplane.

Wow. Saved by the pole.
Is that some kind of armoured car?

Did the pilot live?

If I’m assuming correctly that, that is avgas on the ground, how the hell did that not go up in a fire ball?!
What day was this
I wonder what was in the car that was so much more important than the guy loading it.
When you need a fence, call the builder of THAT fence. Just saying.
Wait! I live in Sept 2019.
Christ, is that fuel that splashed everywhere? You ain’t out of the woods yet until that evaporated or burns off
Florida man!

Emergency landing my ass. That’s not even a taxiway. Forget about the runway. That’s flat out of control.
Damn plane is sideways without landing gear.
I’m calling it a crash.
He should have honked his horn to warn him.
“Reliable Jet”
Time for new underpants!
Not Today.
Clearly an ad for the fence installer! Not today Internet, not today!
Technically I think that is a crash landing…
It’s amazing, shocking and near death, but not a catastrophic failure.
Was this yesterday? Because if so in Maryland, I’m not too far
Yesterday was a crazy day for the news. We went GTA for a day
Piper Warrior. PA-28-161. It’s an aluminum body frame, very light weight. Fuel tanks are in the wings, so most of the weight is there.
“Nearly”… thank god
Get that man a lottery ticket.
Worker Nearly Hit By Plane ~~making emergency landing~~ crashing Sept 2019
FIFY
*Final destination theme intensifies*
You mean Ryanair did a landing
I’d still be shitting myself on my deathbed after that
