Cops Save Downed Cessna 172 Pilot Before a Train Slams into Plane
Foothill Division Officers displayed heroism and quick action by saving the life of a pilot who made an emergency landing on the railroad tracks at San Fernando Rd. and Osborne St., just before an oncoming train collided with the aircraft. They pulled a pilot out of a Cessna 172 that went down on a set of train tracks near Whiteman Airport in Pacoima on Sunday afternoon, Jan. 9, before a train came along several minutes later and slammed into the immobilized aircraft. The small plane crash-landed on the tracks adjacent to the airport, near the intersection of Osborne Street and San Fernando Road, Los Angeles Fire Department officials said. The heavily damaged plane was partially in the path of a passing Amtrak locomotive that collided at full speed with the aircraft’s rear end. The pilot was the sole occupant of the plane. That person was freed from the wreck about 20 minutes before the train barreled into it. The pilot was transported to a hospital. No one on the ground or in the train was reported injured. The aircraft, built in 1967, took off from Whiteman Airport at about 2:10 p.m., according to Federal Aviation Administration officials. Its registration is valid through May 2025 and it is owned by a resident of Santa Clarita. The plane remained on the tracks as of 3 p.m. Sunday, halting all train traffic through the area. Portions of the plane’s engine and fuselage, as well as broken railway crossing signs, littered the ground around the crash site. A small amount of fuel that leaked out of it was contained by firefighters. The cause of the emergency landing was under investigation by the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board. Further information was not immediately released. |

I always thought trains were so much safer than planes. Well actually a plane fell on the train. |

THAT WAS INCREDIBLE!!!!!! That pilot didn't have a prayer if those officers hadn't dragged him to safety. As far as close calls, this is as close as it gets.
