Pilot hits house, crashes plane then gets up and drives back home
Here is a wacky story from the aviation world; a pilot was flying his Cessna towards an air strip at the private Brookeridge Airport near Chicago, when something went wrong.During his approach, he clipped a house, crashed into some trees and flipped his plane upon impact.
Luck was clearly temporarily on his side, because he was able to walk away, get into a car and drive back home.
When the police visited him at his residence, he was charged with operating a plane while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. After a brief visit to the hospital, the local Sheriff placed him under arrest and he is currently being held on a $100,000 bond.
Of course, it will be interesting to see how the police plan to prove he was drunk when he crashed as I'm sure it is not impossible that he had a stiff drunk to relax after being in a nasty plane crash!
