Uhmmm. The only thing I got out of this story is that there is some chief somewhere that thinks helmet cameras is a good idea.

Aircaft accident Caldwell
'THIS GUY' is afar from the herorics I read in the article.The pilot, needing to land,spotted a lighted field and began his descent. At near landing he saw the children playing ball. He tried to abort but his aircraft had faulted lift. I am very proud of this pilot. The helmet camera is no abomination.

Ummmm, can someone tell me why these citizens were trying so hard to remove these guys from the plane? It did not appear to be any immediate threat fire or explosion. I hope some of them were EMTs. The one guy was pulling the dude out by his neck. C-Spine or a little Chiropractic care???

Also, what is up with that helmet cam? Guess he was a MC officer.

You can see the officers motorcycle parked on the road. Helmet cam is a great idea. Am I the only one who thought it looked like they pulled the first guy out by his head? Glad to hear no one else was injured, good job by the pilot.

They didn't pull him out by his head, he was supporting his C-Spine, the cop was pulling him by his belt as the patient was pushing with his feet. They still should have waited till they had a backboard there and allowed the medics to extricate them, but I do agree with cutting the other guy out to make sure he is still breathing okay and has a good pulse...
