Video: Plane Crashes on Baseball Field

[low-n-slow]

Did you notice the flags as the 207 was passing by, looks like a pretty good breeze was blowing for the downwind landing. Glad eveybody survived but I do agree that this certainly was not the best emergency landing field with the amount of people around. Thank God nobody on the ground was hurt.

But like everything else, it's easy to armchair-quarterback after the fact, but not so easy when your there and have just a few seconds to make a potentially life or death decision.

I don't think I'm going out on a limb here to say that the majority of people tend to lean towards self-preservation (even if it's sub-consciously) in those situations requiring an immediate plan of action.

Again, thank goodness no innocent bystanders were hurt or killed on the baseball fields (as well as the crew).

I certainly agree.

I fly a 1982 C-206, and the fuel selector only has, L, OFF, R. You have to go through OFF to switch tanks. I assume the 207 has the same. Going through OFF to switch tanks.......now that is US engineering at its finest
