Plane rented for marriage proposal crashes


ROME, Ga. (AP) -- A plane that was chartered to help a man propose to his girlfriend crashed, injuring the couple and the pilot, authorities said.
Relatives holding a sheet with "Erica, will you marry me?" painted on it watched from the ground as the Cessna 127, circling low over the airport, stalled and then crashed into the ground Friday evening.

The couple, Adam Sutton and Erica Brussee, and the pilot were taken to a hospital with injuries that did not appear to be life threatening, authorities said.

Brussee suffered a broken leg, and the other two had cuts and gashes.

As Brussee was loaded into the ambulance, she said "Tell Adam I said yes," said Joshua Willis, Sutton's cousin. The ring was lost in the wreckage, he said.

The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the incident.

Even though the engine quit, do you think they will still try to pin it on the pilot like they usually do?
No, engine stall is a well known loophole in criminal negligence laws, a veritable "Catch 22".
 
O.K. I've got to chime in here! So they made a freakin banner for a "ground crew" to show a plane in the air ? ! ? ! I fly a few "Will You Marry Me" banners a week but for some reason the banner flys in the air and the couple remains on the ground. I'll have to tell my boss that we've got it all backwards.
