Meh. Not much of a crash. Nobody injured. Nothing (except a bit of a tree and a small plane) destroyed. Even the homeowners seem thrilled to have it happen in their back garden. Maybe all sizes of plane should have gigantic parachute in case they start going down...

I never knew that a stalled aircraft like that could deploy a parachute to bring it safely down to Earth (well...unless you happen to find a tree, of course...) How big is the one on a 747, do you reckon....? ;)
