Linda Welz, owner of the home Jack bounced across in his Saturday accident, sent this report to me.
The video of the accident aftermath, taken by her niece starting before the arrival of the fire department and ambulance can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r73pjT1RHLc The video shows Jack sitting by the side of the road being cared for by the locals with pretty minor injuries considering how much damage shows on the plane. It looks like Jack was trying to get to the open area just past the house and didn't quite make it. We didn't get a good angle view of the house roof but it looks like not-so-much damage, all things considered. Ed _____ From: Linda Welz Sent: Tuesday, July 14, 2009 2:11 PM To: ed Subject: plane crash Hi Ed, The plane crashed through the tree in my front yard before hitting my roof and bouncing across it. Then finally clearing my back fence, hitting another tree and resting in a vacant desert area behind my fence. Jack Fleisher was the pilot and the registered owner. He was the only one on board. He received a few stitches, bump and bruises, but no broken bones. There were two occupants in the house at the time of the accident, who were unhurt but shaken. The house received roof damage and other minor damage from falling roof tiles. My niece, who was in the house at the time, shot a video immediately after the crash.
