emergency landing on the beach

JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. — A small airplane carrying two people made an emergency landing on the beach Saturday and landed nose down in the sand, police said. No one was injured.

The single-engine plane was returning to a Jacksonville area airfield when it lost power around 5 p.m., Police Sgt. Tom Bingham said. It was forced to land in the sand as beachgoers looked on from a distance.

The impact slightly damaged the plane's propeller and nose wheel, Bingham said.

"He apparently picked an area where there weren't too many people," said Bingham, who declined to identify the plane's occupants except to say they were a pilot and the plane's owner.

Any landing you walk away from is a good landing.

Rumor has it that Kurt Busch pulled over in front of him not giving him room forcing the pilot to make an emergency maneuver thus crashing...
