looks like it landed, but flipped when it hit the bump in the dirt.

It was Harrison Ford coming in for a landing .

[externalaffairs]

That plane is registered to a flight school out of van nuys

My cfi had an engine failure at 200feet in the same airport…. I guess these guys weren’t so lucky

flaps not deployed, not slow enough and light enough on the nose for that field, caused the front gear to collapse and a subsequent flip.

[ArcherDiesel]

Wow, there’s an open field in Van Nuys?

[rambo]

"Looks like a plane has gone down" did the clown just say that...typical news reporters

I SAW THIS WHOLE I WAS IN PE, I knew it was falling

[commentator.]

Lol I bet the pilot thinks he’s an “expert”

[davidOConnor-zl]

Investigators from the federal aviation department have determined that the airplanes carburetor and air intake system was clogged with chemtrails and this will become a common occurrence for most airplanes

EXACTLY WHY YOU ALWAYS LEAVE THE FLYING TO THE PROS

[italybeautyful]

Was perhaps Kim
KARTRASHIAN’s airplane ???😊😅😮😢😂

[QuestionableOpinions]

Starlink needs to be utilized for our FAA. Obviously, their plan isn't working. We have more planes just falling from the sky lately, and they're not all malfunctions. Nope.

[nannerz]

Did it go head over heels or do a barrel roll

[frankcerbantes]

This small planes are a real treat to Lost Angeles and all mayor city s whith small airports they lock of maintenance and people s experience pilots are a big treat to public safety. They should be all Banned. ButFAA doesn’t give a damm about it
