Plane with nobody aboard crashes at Nipawin, Sask.

Maybe planes really can fly themselves!

Shame. Looks like a nice, old plane was ruined.

In this case only if you're a little slow and have the throttle open too much. At least he was smart enough not to stand in front of the prop to start it.

Can we say the accident was caused by pilot error, even though the pilot wasn't actually in the plane?

Also you never want to get sucked into a jet engine either. I've seen the movies.

Only happens to the bad guys.

Yup. You'd think he'd know how to start it and get in since he's had the plane of 6 years.

Fly ?

Yes.


Land ?

No.

I know of a guy who walked into a propeller on HMCS Bonaventure and left a lot of fatherless children behind.

Dry dock ?

Ouch, visions of Indiana Jones..

Pay close attention at 2:05

And he survived.

And he survived.
That is good to know but I'm still not going to watch it.
