Those who have a fear of flying usually can’t even get on a plane without thinking it might crash. Well now those people have something new to fear whenever they are forced to travel by plane. Police in California saved a pilot recently, pulling him from his crashed plane just seconds before it was struck by an oncoming train, and luckily multiple cameras captured the incredible moment.
As if being involved in a plane crash wasn’t scary enough, the pilot of a Cessna 172 had things go from bad to worse recently when his crashed plane landed on train tracks in Pacoima, California. Luckily for the pilot, members of the Los Angeles Police Department were able to pull the man from the wreckage just seconds before his plane was pulverized by a Metrolink train.
“I had requested Metrolink to cease all train activity, but apparently that didn’t happen,” said Sgt. Joseph Cavestany. According to Bro Bible, the pilot was forced to make a crash landing after his plane lost power while flying. The pilot may need a new way to travel long distances after bad experiences with both a plane and a train.
