Piper down Lackawanna PA

[C-1 PILOT]

Here the link with a video. Appears it was put down intact on a street. Two taken to the hospital. Hope they are not seriously injured.

The plane crashed just before 9 p.m. on Stone Street.

Not too far from my house. I saw a lot of pics and the plane is in pretty good shape actually. Looks like he tried making avp, was gonna come up short we he turned towards a shopping mall parking lot. Wings are pretty ripped up, yet no fire.

Doesn’t sound like they are hurt too bad. Looks like a lot of flying done/planned for today

Article mentions ‘spilled gasoline’? Of course ‘starvation’ possible. Glad they made it.

Surprised to see the tail strobe and position lights still on, with FD on scene. Flight aware shows they from departed BTV.

I have a lot of video from the scene as I live nearby. Took at least 15 minutes for them to realize the master was still on and to turn it off. Also, luckily, there was no fire as nothing was done on scene for quite a while.

Bystanders drug the pilot up the street for safety, hope he and his passenger recover fully.

Minor injuries actually. Nothing serious.

The pilot did a good job of putting it down on a dark, narrow street.
