More on DG 300 crash (more photos) It seems that this pilot was trying to "land out" on to a soccer field, but he overshot and went between 2 concrete pillars that held up the end of a cable car station (shown in jpeg 4). It seems that he did not hit these pillars with the wings at the same time, which accounts for the crazy angle and snapped fuse. This explains the sheared wings.
There were a fair number of people in the immediate vicinity; luckily no bystander was hit. The pilot was able to walk to the ambulance. The wreckage was cleared away within 30 minutes.
Amazing!
