Did the jet crash? The article doesn't say. -- nm - David Apr 13, 12:23 6
- The article says "The pilot was not ejected and managed to land the plane safely, despite suffering some minor facial injuries during the ordeal. " -- nm - mara Apr 13, 12:26 1
  - Totally my fault! I read it twice and still missed that. Thanks! -- nm - David Apr 13, 12:39
- Good point. He was a passenger so I assume the pilot landed the plane safely. -- nm - Bacon Apr 13, 12:25 2
  - Actually, it's only because of a malfunction that the pilot wasn't also ejected. He landed the plane and ran away as fast as he could. - Beryllium Apr 13, 12:30 1
    - DAMN!! -- nm - Bacon Apr 13, 12:33
- The picture showed the avion (plane) in the bottom left corner. Assuming it's fine. He was a passenger. -- nm* - VMan Apr 13, 12:25
Probably didn't signal either. -- nm - Max Apr 13, 12:15 2
- What do you mean. The left turn signal was on from the time they took off. -- nm - pmb Apr 13, 12:33
- I bet he signaled in his pants -- nm - oblique Apr 13, 12:16
