Seven News reported it missed houses and a preschool full of kids, but hhit power lines and a ute, causing the fire.

 

In the meantime, another Cessna has landed on a highway in Florida.

 

 

Read a little more here. Includes alink to video of landing.

It’s been rainy and foggy all day here, possibly similar at Moorabbin.

 

 

[red750]

Yeah, rain and cloud most of the day. A lousy day for anything.

You couldn't get much closer than this; Scarlet St is L shaped, running right up to the boundary in line with 35L

Sunrise report that the aircraft was on a test flight following maintenance.

Met up with a fiery in Geelong this morning; he was on the scene. Aircraft had engine failure after maintenance. I think there was a gold course right in front of the street

This was a long time acquaintance of one of our local club members.

 

Condolences to friends and family.

Here we go again. Renewed calls for the closure of YMMB.

 

 

[turboplanner]

Who’s called for the closure?

 

 

[red750]

Local residents of course.

I just read the report from the age. Saying things like we live in fear of the planes and I just drove down that street with my 5 year old in the car just before the crash.

 

 

[turboplanner]

On the other hand several condolences from a local residents group which is more concerned about crime.

Out of pure curiosity and no disrespect meant to anyone, just pure analytical research, I just Googled car accidents in Morabbin/Mordy, I'm sure you could all pre-guess the extensive results.

The airport has been there since 1949, what more can you say except move if you don't like it.

 

 

[red750]

That's what we say every time. The same applies to Essendon. There since before many of them were born. They knew what they were buying, but it didn't stop them.

I looked up the street on google maps. if it was a engine failure he was so close to making the field.
