    Emergency Landing in Staten Island Dump

    A Piper Cub, possibly towing a banner, has crash landed into Great Kills land fill. The pilot seems to be okay.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    well there is a saying that the piper cub is the safest airplane on the planet. it can just barely kill you....
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    They must have received a general call about a plane down because I was on my way home from NJ and saw literally 30 firetrucks & police cars responding to the scene around 12:30.

    Looks like the pilot did a good job.

    That's weak - should have manned up and put it down in the river. It could become an annual event. :lol:
