MELBOURNE, Fla. (WSVN) —A small airplane landed safely at a flea market parking lot in Melbourne.
According to FAA officials, the two pilots on-board reported engine issues right before and was trying to return to the Melbourne-Orlando International Airport at the time.
While making the soft landing they downed a powerline.
“Loud, loud popping it was worse than I’ve seen in most hurricanes it was just absolutely insane and absolutely wild,” said Shawn Frame who lives near the crash.
Both pilots made it out of the plane before officials arrived.
One of them suffered minor injuries.
The crash remains under investigation.
