Looks like the occupants were very lucky coming down in a very small backyard yet only hitting trees and bushes!
These people need to buy Lottery tickets with this kinda luck! Glad that they are apparently okay( according to the news reports)
Who needs CAPS when you have all of this success? Glad to see a positive outcome.

Oops, already posted. I saw 152 designator and Temple City and one heck of a telling overhead shot!

“Ahead of the wings, into the wind, as slowly as possible” coupled with “soft and cheap” quite often works.

Whatever the cause, good for them!

The "report" button is the quickest way to get our attention

Very light and very slow also help survivability a lot.

Looks like the pilot wood be guilty of tree trimming and hedging his bets ...

Mods, can you get one of your tech guys to check if there's a plugin to strip off Facebook tracking from the URL? (everything after and including the "fbclid=" in link)

The survivors should not buy another lottery ticket, they just used up all their luck.

Thanks, but I was more wondering if it can be automated.

Let's hope it's true that many things come in threes since that's 3 plane crashes in the LA Orange County area in the last couple months... We are better than that!
