Anyone know anything about a crash in Rome, Ga yesterday?

Has anyone heard any info?

Yes. Looked at the C-172 today (N5324R) and it's a mess. Do a google search on Rome News Tribune, then click on local news for a picture & story.
A friend witnessed the crash and said the aircraft was appr. 20 feet agl when it stalled, dropped the left wing into the parking lot and stopped at the front door of the Prop Stop Deli. All three lived.

A man was proposing to his fiance' and the pilot got too slow and stalled it. No fatalities.

Yeh, I know the pilot.. His sister called me and told me he had been in a crash, I just hadn't heard anything about it..

The article has been edited.. It originally said "the plane stalled" and now it's saying the engine stalled.. It also said it was a Cessna 127F.. Now it's corrected..

Gotta trust that witness and word of mouth info. There is nothing more frustrating than watching the evening news and listening to some talking head butcher anything and everything aviation.

i.e. When they call the a/c a piper and are showing crash scene footage of a Cessna

Yeh, my mom talked to the pilots mom today, sounds like the engine quit.. I haven't talked to Bradley though..

Even though the engine quit, do you think they will still try to pin it on the pilot like they usually do?

 

[Tram]

I think it all depends on how low he was when the engine quit..

Depends why the engine quit.
