Saw that yesterday. Had to rewatch a couple times to make sure it wasn't that parachute-selfie stick guy :lol:

Seriously, glad it all ended as well as it did.

Crazy. My dad joked that whatever NTSB inspector they send for this one is going to be a Renaissance man.

The airport being totally surrounded by development gives me the willies.
After seeing the pilot's facial injuries, I wonder if he was wearing a shoulder harness?
