QuoteTACOMA, Wash., May 3 (UPI) -- A pilot walked away from a crash landing in Washington state when a field full of portable toilets cushioned the impact on the ground for his small plane.
The 67-year-old pilot, whose name was not reported, had just taken off from Pierce County-Thun Field at 3:20 p.m. PDT Friday when his engine stopped, The Tacoma News-Tribune reported Saturday. He was alone in the 1982 Cessna.
"The plane took off, he got about 150 feet in the air and his engine quit running," Ed Troyer, a spokesman for the Pierce County Sheriff's Office, said. "He tried to turn around and come back and land, but he didn't quite make it."
The plane hit a fence and landed upside down in the field next to the runway where Northwest Cascade had stored the portable toilets.
"The Honey Buckets kind of cushioned things," a Northwest Cascade worker who did not want to be named told the News-Tribune.
Looks like his engine
crapped out on him.
:P
That engine is such a party pooper.
I hate it when engines poop out like that.
Sooo many poopty puns...
I can't think of another poopty pun.
I would hate to have to crash land like that though.
Okay, new safety device for air planes: reteactable potable toilets! Can also store some of your bodily secretions! :D
