Plane makes crash landing in SydneyA video of a small Cessna 210 flying close to houses before crash landing in suburban Sydney, Australia, emerged on social media on Monday. CNN reported that the incident took place on May 26 after the plane lost power during the flight.
In a video shared by BBC News, the small plane can be seen flying dangerously close to the rooftops of the houses before dramatically crash landing at Bankstown Airport in Sydney’s southwest. The male pilot and a female passenger can be seen exiting the plane on foot within seconds of the landing. “A pilot managed to steer clear of roofs in Sydney’s suburbs and crash land at an airport after losing power mid-flight. Both the pilot and passenger were uninjured,” BBC News wrote.

The video accumulated over 20,733 views as many users hailed the pilot for handling the situation. Reacting to the video, a user wrote, “Pretty amazing pilot, I would say. Thank God no one injured.” Another user commented, “Anything that doesn’t end up in any casualties deserves an applause.”
“Great job by the pilot. They were lucky it didn’t catch fire,” the third user reacted.
“It was gliding, there was no power. We clipped the trees, and we just made it over the hanger,” pilot Jake Swanepoel told Nine News.
In May, a small plane carrying six skydivers and a pilot made a safe landing before it crashed near a county airport in western Missouri. According to reports, the wreckage was found in a field east of the runways at Butler Memorial Airport.
