172 emergency landing Compton CA

[FPK1]

Cessna 172 loses the engine on take off from Compton (CA) airport. The pilot lands straight ahead avoiding the block wall, telephone and power wires, lands on the street without incident...

Another news channel stated the pilot was an airplane pilot.

I sure hope so... (sorry- had to. I assume you meant airline?)

Why wasn't his transponder squawking? Last flight looks like over two months ago.

Good job like it when pilot gets to walk away.

What a smart reporter, she identified that the pilot navigated the power lines above. Lol

Sounds like some residents want that airport to move straight outta Compton!

Great reporting. It crashed AND made an emergency landing.

NO INCIDENT. It doesn't look like no incident.

The pilot walking away from this crash was nothing short of miraculous. The airplane looks like it barely cleared the wall…

Happy that he did not attempt the "impossible turn" back to the airport
