Two Men Survive after Their Single Engine Plane Crashes in Susquehanna River
A single engine plane crashed into the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania last week, according to The Times Leader. The two men aboard the plane included the pilot, who had only recently purchased the plane, and his passenger. Both men were not seriously injured.
Reports say the Piper PA22 single engine aircraft took off from Skyhaven Airport and moments later, the plane’s engine failed. This caused the aircraft to crash into some trees before diving nose first into the river and then flipping over. Investigators say the two men were lucky to have remained conscious as the cock pit filled with water and the men were strapped into their seats upside down. The reason the engine failed is still being investigated.
Luckily, the two men involved in this aviation accident survived with only minor injuries. Unfortunately, more often than not, plane crashes in Pennsylvania of this type don’t yield such results. In many plane accidents, there are multiple casualties and the reasons for a plane crash can vary from defective parts to pilot error to dangerous weather conditions and other causes.
