Plane Hits Ferris Wheel, No Serious Injuries

The light aircraft ended up embeded in the structure of the wheel. I’m guessing there was no-one in the carriage that took the hit, but it was in use at the time. Lucky escape all round, especially for the pilot and passenger, looks like the wheel acted as a giant catching mitt.

I was scanning thread titles rather quickly and came in here to see why a plane hit Fenris. :smiley:

Meanwhile it is reported that all spiders in the village are still stunned in awe from the event.

mmm…the Wright Brother’s sweet salty nuts…the sky truely is the limit…personally I like the Wilbur ones a bit better than the Orville ones…

Hadn’t seen that one before. :slight_smile:

Another view.

My brother, who lives in New Zealand and kows how much I love the unique and absurd, called to tell me about this.

That had to be a looooong 90 minutes.

Seriously, I’m amazed nobody was injured or killed here. AFAIC it was a good day for everyone.
