Plane Crash Ft. Lauderdale

[Sonar5 3]

Hi all,Not that anyone would see this on the news with all the stupid stuff they are reporting today, but an aircraft has gone down in a Street in Ft. Lauderdale.It seems it was a Douglas Super R4D-8. (Pretty much like a DC-3, with a few changes, stretched fuselage, etc...)Very sad day.Thankfully, all 3 crew seem to have survived, which is a testament that they were able to bring that down in a street, and no one was killed.

If you want to see a bunch of pics, go here:http://www.nbc6.net/news/4603028/detail.htmlCrew did a nice job of missing houses, and putting a rather large plane down in the street. AS 'they' say, "if you HAVE to crash, do it in a DC-3". :)

Good afternoon,Yes, the registration # of the DC-3 was N3906J and some pics can be found at airliners.netThe plane apparently crashed on North 56th Street after an engine loss. According to my prediction, it was probably #2.All 3 pax safe and some people said the aircraft flew literary 50 feet over their heads. :-eekI wonder if anybody on AVSIM lives near this sceneCheersPatrick
