the "not worthy of it's own thread" thread

Was attending a city "Block Party" in my suburb with the wife and kids this weekend. Was standing by myself near a stage where a band was getting ready to go on and was approached by a guy at random. Turns out he saw that I was wearing an aviation-themed shirt and wanted to talk a bit of flying. In this brief discussion he pulls out his phone to show me pictures of a mangled Cessna 175 that he had put down in the trees a year ago near Wetumpka, Alabama while enroute to Tulsa (guy is apparently from the Jacksonville area) after the engine came from together. Came out without a scratch despite stalling it into the tree tops. I didn't think to ask him if he drove or flew commercial for this year's trip to Tulsa, lol.

Looked it up and found that last flight on flightaware.

 
Yeah, probably some lawyer, but interesting to think of what someone could have done that that lead to this.
