Light Aircraft Crash-landed on the Ground, Killing 3
A light aircraft crash-landed Friday in Kenya, killing 3 people on the ground, a local police official said. The three fatalities included a motorcycle taxi driver who was killed when the plane burst into flames on impact in the town of Kwachocha along the Malindi-Mombasa highway. Two other victims, a motorcycle rider and a female passenger, died when parts from the separated wings and tail of the plane hit them as the aircraft crashed into a building. A pilot and two students who were on board were being treated for injuries sustained after they jumped out of the plane before it crashed. Police were investigating the cause of the accident. The Kwachocha area neighbors Malindi airport and its residents are in court over government plans to expand the airport before land compensation cases are concluded. |

Re: Light Aircraft Crash-landed on the Ground, Killing 3
This accident must have been caused by the brakes popping. You can clearly see they're popped in the last video. definitely the cause  |

In the 172R they will often pop just after the landing gear is lowered.

Re: Light Aircraft Crash-landed on the Ground, Killing 3
Back in high school, the brakes popped on my van as I was approaching a red light. It tried to shoot the gap, but a car hit me and put me up on two wheels. I rode it through on 2 wheels then steered the van back down. The front and rear tires on one side both popped on impact. So I ended up popping the brakes and two tires in a single run.

Did you overrun the road and end up in the sea?
