The pilot who survived after his plane crash-landed onto railroad tracks in Pacoima in January, had an emotional reunion with the quick-acting police officers that saved his life.
Shocking video shows the moment a Metrolink train slammed into a small plane that crashed on its tracks in Pacoima on Sunday, and the pilot was rescued just in time.
"The timing I think was just impeccable. And, you know, they say everything happens for a reason. You know, I was down in that area, I don't patrol nearby there that day, but I had some other business that put me there, and I think, just God was on everyone's side that day," said LAPD officer Robert Sherock."I'm just glad everything worked out.
Jenkins says he doesn't remember much about the plane crash but he does remember when his engine failed he had one goal in mind. "I had seconds to make a decision on what to do," Jenkins said."I had always known that if I had an engine failure and I wasn't any higher than the tower, I knew that I had to take evasive action and land somewhere that didn't kill people. My goal was to land where I didn't kill anybody. I take that risk, they don't. And I didn't have anybody in my way except for the railroad track.
Following that plane crash, Congressman Tony Cárdenas tweeted that he was calling on the FAA and the NTSB to create a report examining the safety concerns of Whiteman Airport.
