This plane didn't get enough speed or altitude prior to taking off (no real details are available yet.) There were 4 people on it when it crashed. My uncle was one of the passengers (he was sitting behind the pilot on the left side.) Somehow, every one of them survived this crash with no serious injuries. I didn't understand how serious the incident was until I saw the pictures.

wow thats crazy!! thank god everyone is alright.

 

That is crazy. Someone was definitely watching out for them.

 

He's really lucky for that one. I have seen/heard about crashes something like that before and after the EAA fly-in in Oshkosh,WI when they come from everywhere. Some of them didnt seem that bad weren't so lucky

 

wow, i bet he's pretty shaken.

 

he seems to have a pretty good attitude about the situation. there's a picture of him laying in the hospital bed with a cast on one arm and giving a thumbs up with the other and a smile on his face.

 

Well this is great to see that nobody is dead. Lucky for sure, man that 172 crumpled.. WOW.. GLAD EVERYBODY IS OK

 

Thats good that everyone survived, but a miracle? i wouldnt ever say so. How many plane crashes occur where that doesnt happen?...exactly.

 

yep, thats why your that guy...
Can you tell me how it does not match this definition, or even all of them. Go ahead and try and PROVE any of them wrong, it should prove to be entertaining. Thats why its called faith son.

Id say that it was pretty miraculous that they survived. Glad to hear it!

 

Miracle insinuates divine intervention, for those that believe this would be a miracle for thsoe that arent religious it would be a very lucky incedent. No need to have a big discussion about it. Congratulate the man on having his uncle make it out safe.

That crash is nuts, it really looks like someone wouldve been killed in that wreckage. I bet your uncle sees life a bit different after this experience
