Rockaway Plane Crash

[pjholl]

The drink-fly limit is 1/4 that for the UK drink drive limit, so just 1 shot of 40% whiskey would put you 4 times over the legal limit.

As a pilot, this guy scares me.

[atom2009]

So was he charged with an FUI?

[w29bum]

did he die?

[jamesmichael123]

no he lived its description above

[IceBreaker832]

Bet he cant do that again = P

[RippedWookie]

Didn't check the fuel, intoxicated, totaled an airplane. He was not having such a good day. Bastard.

[rimbaldcatt]

Bummer. 177s are nice airplanes.

[cachly]

O-M-G This video was post on my birthday :P I still remember this exact day I went to a buffet :P

[azdaboss]

O--M--G this is such a big deal that this was posted on your birthday. - Just like thousands of other videos on here!!!! I'm in shock, it's unbelievable. You're one lucky person.

Congratulations!!!

[dva511]

wow alcoholic pilot

[Nza420]

so unusual for the pilot to be impaired...

[artistgmg]

I used to live in NJ and I bet this is the most exciting thing that has ever happened there...ever!

[PATTACAT]

LMAO!

[BrandonLeo3]

cessna cardnal

[VideoCoffin]

cessna, right?

[an147]

Right. It´s a Cessna.

[mopo150]

Dude I live in NJ, matter of fact, 25 mins from this very town lol

[ecitsujwon]

Your mom lives in NJ 25 minutes from this very town!

[SpiritsoftheWolf]

dumbass pilot, forgot to check the fuel gauges before taking off, and drinking and flying don't mix, flying while intoxicated is even more deadlier than driving, hope his flying license is suspended,

[JephN]

As an aircraft maintainer myself, I completely agree. He shouldn't be permitted to fly.

[WormyDude64]

The new jersey way of doing a soft-field landing

[airliners321]

this also goes for witches."don't drink fly"

[griffin831]

do you think he got a ticket for parking without a permit.

[sk8rkid344]

I USED TO LIVE RIGHT OVER THER!

[voulcan123]

listen to 2:00 you can here the elatricals from the powerline buzzing

[Polishknight96]

lucky i didn't hit the mall i live like 5 min from the area it crashed in

[OMGHabboFilms]

OMG! I live about 30 mins from Rockaway :D

[arnaud051969]

I would not have liked to see the pants of the pilot

[attilahooper]

what a doosh, I'd like to bitch slap that guy. the cardinal is now a parts plane, ain't noone gonna spend $ fixing it up.

[wifwat]

OMG HAHA!!!!!! Like what Jamestub3 says, it will all buff out!!!

[shit4brainz24]

Notice that there is no propeller damage and that it is stopped horizontally, meaning that that there's probably no internal engine damage from a ground/prop strike... Which makes this much less expen$ive than it appears... Mostly skin damage with some possible structural and some definite mechanical damage to the landing gear... Yeah... I got some hours in a 177RG...

[shit4brainz24]

Just remember... "Any landing that you can walk away from is a good landing... Any landing that you can still use the airplane is a great one"... Yeah... I'm a pilot...

[stargen5]

pilots have over-blown misplaced stupid egos.

[Jamestub3]

lol u can just buff that out

[cyclepsychodad]

more like a fenderbender

[hyper4lifedude]

the last time i saw someone mistake a super market car park as a runway it was the chuckle brothers

[monster271]

Hmmm, he's going to get towed for illegal parking.

[krashly71]

i do believe he is double parked.

[mytube1968]

Cessna eight..zero..fife..niner..golf­, cleared to land runway WALMART, left traffic. :)

[go4idiots]

LOOOL

[piloty5]

lmfao

[CFITOMAHAWK2]

I took my commercial single on an RG. Later on tried to buy the airplane but a richer PPL cut me off and got it. A few months later the ahole destroyed (pilots fault). Never went back to airport. He killed a jewel of a bird. If good pilots band up, these bad guys will respect us and aviation more because they will know that if they don't die from the crash, they will from the smash.  We were told that at the flight school I attended in Puerto Rico. We respected that law as good as the FAR's.

[Kauboy84]

why you talk too much? take shut the fuck up!

[pilotemtnils]

The world feels the same about you

[mikeb172sp]

A good way to destroy a perfectly good airplane. Nice job!

[richardwhat]

...think I'll use the circle wipe today....

[dalli2]

The pilot's medical certificate had expired and his flight review was past due. A police toxicologist indicated that the pilot had a blood alcohol level of 0.060%.

The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows:

The pilot's impairment of judgment and performance due to alcohol which led to his inadequate preflight of the aircraft and his inadequate inflight decision which resulted in fuel exhaustion and loss of engine power.

NTSBreport

[dalli2]

Aircraft: Cessna 177RG, registration: N8059G The airplane was en route about 700 feet above the ground when the engine lost power. The pilot turned toward a shopping mall parking lot, and during the descent the airplane struck a power line. The airplane impacted the ground in a nose-low attitude and the nose landing gear collapsed. Examination of the airplane revealed that the fuel tanks were empty with corresponding indication of the fuel gages.

[SkyFly22]

It's a Cessna Cardinal.

[Jagermeister196]

El Capitan was pissed!

[SenorSpode]

While the issue of driving with some alcohol is always debatable, there are two things you NEVER operate under any amount of alcohol: A plane and a motorcycle. Equilibrium is everything and alcohol kills it.

[kascnef82]

This happened before 9/11, so I think air traffic is prohibited around the mall. I know there was an incident in which a helicopter landed near the mall earlier this year, causing some traffic troubles on Route 80.

[raynus1]

Too bad. Nice Cardinal RG.

[ROSEOFINTRIGUE1O1]

lOOKS LIKE IT WAS EATING MORE OIL THAN FUEL

[aflacduky]

is that a RG ? dont look like it but i cant see very well

[raynus1]

I'm looking at what appears to be the recess wells on either side of the belly, and the curved gear strut (visible on the right side, wheel still attached @ 2:51). Googled N8059G...comes up as an RG.

[aflacduky]

thanks sniff sniff cry if that were my plane hope nobodey got hurt

[Kamak86]

Yes, this is an RG

The pilot's impairment of judgment and performance due to alcohol which led to his inadequate preflight of the aircraft and his inadequate inflight decision which resulted in fuel exhaustion and loss of engine power.

[netscion]

The pilot reported that he did not check the fuel quantity before the flight, but instead did an estimation of the amount. The pilot's medical certificate had expired and his flight review was past due. A police toxicologist indicated that the pilot had a blood alcohol level of 0.060%.

The airplane was en route about 700 feet above the ground when the engine lost power. The pilot turned toward a shopping mall parking lot, and during the descent the airplane struck a power line. The airplane impacted the ground in a nose-low attitude and the nose landing gear collapsed. Examination of the airplane revealed that the fuel tanks were empty with corresponding indication of the fuel gages. There was no evidence of fuel siphoning or leakage on the airplane.
