Ho ho, that poor guy!     ::unbelieveable::

What a place to land -- though I guess to make it out alright from an engine failure at 150'AGL, I'd be LOVIN' those toilets!!!   :D

I bet his (her??) pilot buddies will never let THIS one be forgotten....    ::whistle::

 ;D
Don't make me come back there!!!!

A crappy landing or the job's not finished until the paperwork is done... ::rofl:: ::rofl::

Of course, the fan might not have hit the s##t if the pilot hadnt broken the well founded rule of NEVER turning back after engine failure on take off....
(land / crash 30% either side of straight ahead I was always told)

you know how those Hollywood stuntmen always land in a big pile of boxes after a big fall?

Probably was a pretty soft landing. The airplane is still in one piece, right?!
