A PILOT who survived a light plane crash and walked away from
the wreckage with only minor injuries in Sydney this morning has been described
as a “miracle”.
Video
footage of the moments that followed the woman’s escape shows her walking
quickly to a car before climbing into the passenger seat while holding what
appears to be a coffee container.
The
woman then engages in conversation with a man before she takes a swig of her
drink and ducks down, seemingly to avoid cameras, and the car drives away.
It
came just moments after a light plane — piloted by the woman in her 50s with no
passengers — plunged more than 300 metres to nosedive into trees at
Bankstown Airport in Sydney’s southwest about 11.20am Monday.
“I’m
losing it,” the woman screamed into the plane radio before the moment of
impact.
Paramedics said it was a “miracle” the pilot walked from the
wreckage, in the ditch at the edge of a paddock, with only a sore back. She was
assisted by airport staff after being assessed by ambulance workers who
determined she didn’t need to go to hospital.
“This
is a very happy and lucky outcome for the pilot,” Mr Keshwan said in a
statement on Monday afternoon.
“It
is a miracle she has walked away from the wreckage without any injuries.”
An Australian Transport and Safety Bureau spokesperson said the
organisation will decide on Tuesday whether to investigate the crash.
