[QUOTE]A pilot has been dragged from the wreckage of his plane by the driver and passenger of the car he had crashed into.
The two people in the car were unhurt and immediately helped the stricken pilot, dragging him clear of the burning wreckage.
Volunteer fire crews were at the airfield for another event and were able to tackle the blaze.
The pilot, who is in his forties was taken to Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow with facial and back injuries and a suspected fractured leg.
Onlookers said the plane appeared to land before immediately taking off again and circling before the failed final attempted landing. It then clipped the back of the car which was leaving the airfield.
It is not yet clear if the crash was due to mechanical failure of pilot error.

Ah.
Can you imagine driving along, looking at the road, you have always had a fear you will have a collision with another car. THEN BAM.
A plane drops out of the sky. Right onto your car.
That is terrible luck.
North Weald isn't far from where I live.
Well no shit they lived, it's a Volvo.
If you people would even bother to look at the picture thats on the airport. Some idiot forgot to look up when crossing the runway.

That sentence reminded me of Marisa Tomei's line in My Cousin Vinny.
"So Mr. Joe, what is your accident history?"
"Well I got hit by a plane once"
":confused:"
the car is still structurally intact and the plane is totalled? Man thats one badass car

Not really. Most small aircraft are made out of super thin aluminium. You could push your finger through the skin of a plane like that if you tried hard enough.
Ohgod, the poor Volvo. :ohdear:
Anyone remember this from GTA San Andreas? Constantly getting hit by crashing airplanes while walking or driving off road?
Great that he survived that crash, the picture looks harsh.

There was a thread a while back about the worst date he ever had in that game, and at the end a plane crashed into his date. Someone please dig up that thread.
How the hell did he manage to hit a car? those things are small compared to the plane he was flying.
How does one hit a car?... With a plane?
