A pilot with an in-flight emergency landed his single engine Cessna plane on Ventura Beach Friday.
“I look to my left, I see the skid on the sand & then hit the jetty,” Mason Powers, a witness, said. “It was just out of nowhere. Took me like a couple of minutes to process what just happened. Cause it was so random,” Powers said.
Ventura first responders confirm nobody was hurt: not the pilot, his two passengers or anyone on the crowded beach.“When there’s an aircraft that’s down you think that there’s gonna be people injured if not fatalities. To get here, see the plane in as good a shape as it was? Firefighters say no injuries? Pretty amazing,” Paul Amaral, Salvage Master with Towboat U.S. Ventura said.
“We immediately walked down here. Talked to the firefighters. They actually said the pilot did a really great job. Considering the situation,” Silva said. This article tagged under:
