2 hurt as small plane veers off runway near Downers Grove

Plane Crash near Downers Grove Leaves Pilot and Passenger Injured

A small plane veered off the runway during its landing attempt at a private residential airpark in Downers Grove, leaving two people injured, authorities said. The single-engine Cessna 195 went out of control shortly after noon on Friday, rolling over before coming to rest in a backyard.

Miraculously, both occupants emerged from the aircraft under their own power and were taken to an area hospital for evaluation. While the extent of their injuries was not disclosed, it is reported that the plane sustained significant damage.

Located near the Carriage Greens Country Club, the airpark's runways are surrounded by homes, each with attached hangars. The pilot lost control of the aircraft at one point, causing it to veer off course and crash into a hangar.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating the incident, which marks the latest in a string of aviation incidents in the region.
 
omg I was so worried when I saw this news on my feed ๐Ÿค•๐Ÿ˜ฌ i mean I've always been super nervous about flying anyway but to think that someone could lose control of a plane and crash into a house is just insane ๐Ÿ˜ฒ what if it had happened at night or something? the pilot and passenger were lucky to be okay, though! they must've been super shaken up ๐Ÿ˜… and poor hangar owners, I can only imagine how scary that must've been for them ๐Ÿคฏ I'm glad the FAA is looking into this, hopefully they'll find out what caused it and make sure something like this doesn't happen again ๐Ÿ‘
 
๐Ÿ˜ฑ can you believe this?! ๐Ÿคฏ a plane just veers outta control like it's playing some kinda crazy game of bumper cars ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ˜‚ and somehow the lucky two people on board make it out alive? I mean, I've seen some wild things in my time, but that's just nuts! And to think they had to deal with crashing into a hangar... what if they hadn't gotten out themselves?! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜จ

And the airpark thing is so sketchy... like, who builds airports near residential areas?! ๐Ÿค” It's just begging for accidents. I mean, I get it, we all want to fly and stuff, but can't we find a safer way to do it? ๐Ÿšซ

Anyway, glad everyone's okay (for now)... hope the pilot and passenger are healing up nice and slow ๐Ÿ˜Œ. This whole thing is just so... unpredictable! ๐ŸŒช๏ธ
 
Man... this is wild ๐Ÿคฏ I remember watching air shows when I was a kid at the O'Hare Airport back in the day. They always looked so safe and controlled. Now it's like anyone can fly a plane? ๐Ÿ˜‚ Not to be negative, but what's with all these aviation incidents lately? You'd think people would learn from each other's mistakes. Anyway, glad those two are okay ๐Ÿ™, that could've been a lot worse. And can you imagine landing in someone's backyard? Like, what were they thinking?! ๐Ÿ˜‚
 
Dude, this is wild ๐Ÿคฏ. A plane just crashes into a backyard in Downers Grove and it's like something out of a movie. I mean, can you even imagine being on that plane? The fact that both people are okay, though... that's amazing ๐Ÿ˜Œ. Significant damage to the plane, but thankfully no fatalities. It's just crazy how these things happen. And the airpark thing is just ridiculous ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ. Like, what even is an airpark with homes and hangars next door? It's like they're asking for trouble! Anyway, FAA's on it, so fingers crossed everything gets sorted out. You gotta wonder what caused that pilot to lose control, though... was it a mechanical issue or something else entirely? ๐Ÿค”
 
Plane crashes near Downers Grove? What's going on with these private airparks?! ๐Ÿคฏ They're like ticking time bombs just waiting to happen... I mean, can't they do better than just slap some runways together and call it a day? And what's with the FAA being involved? You'd think they'd be doing more than just investigating after something goes wrong. At least the pilot and passenger are okay, but seriously, this could've been way worse... ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
 
๐Ÿšจ Omg can you even believe that?? A plane just crashed in some backyard in Downers Grove and luckily only 2 people were hurt ๐Ÿคž! I mean, what was going through that pilot's mind, right? One minute they're flying smoothly and the next they're careening out of control ๐Ÿคฏ. And to think it happened at a residential airpark, with houses all around... it's just crazy ๐ŸŒณ.

Anyway, super glad no one died ๐Ÿ˜… (I mean, seriously, can you imagine if that had been a terrible outcome?!?๐Ÿ˜ฑ). Now they're off to the hospital for some evaluation and I hope everything turns out okay ๐Ÿค—. And of course the FAA is on it to figure out what went down ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธ. Just another day in aviation... where you've gotta be ready for anything ๐Ÿ˜…
 
I'm so relieved that no one was more seriously hurt ๐Ÿ™. You've got to wonder what went wrong there - maybe just a technical issue or pilot error? The fact that both people were okay, though, is still pretty amazing. I mean, planes are incredibly complex machines and something like that can happen even with proper training and maintenance.

It's good that the FAA is looking into it, because safety is always the top priority when it comes to air travel. You never know what might cause a situation like this in the future. Hopefully they'll be able to identify any issues and prevent similar incidents from happening again.
 
๐Ÿšจ this is so crazy! I mean, can you imagine being on that plane and feeling like it's just gonna take off again after it's crashed into a hangar? I guess the pilots are trained to handle situations like this, but still... 2 people could've been seriously hurt or worse.

I'm thinking about the pilots training, they must've had some sort of emergency procedure in place for situations like this. And also, have you seen those airparks lately? They're getting more and more popular, so it's not surprising that there are more incidents happening.

The FAA investigating this is good, I guess... they need to figure out what went wrong so they can make sure something like this doesn't happen again. The carriages greens country club is so lucky their airpark isn't the only one in the area - that would be a total disaster ๐Ÿคฏ
 
OMG ๐Ÿคฏ I'm just so relieved that no one was seriously hurt in this plane crash near Downers Grove! ๐Ÿ˜ฉ A single-engine Cessna 195 veering off the runway and crashing into a hangar is just terrifying to think about... like what if it had caught fire or something? ๐Ÿš’ Thankfully, both people on board are safe and sound, even if they did have to get medical attention. ๐Ÿค• The FAA is looking into this incident, so fingers crossed that we'll get some answers soon! ๐Ÿ˜Š Also can't help but wonder how planes are supposed to handle these types of situations... I mean, it's not like the pilots can just magically stay calm in an emergency situation ๐Ÿ™„
 
๐Ÿ˜ฉ This plane crash near Downers Grove is just crazy! Like, what even happens? You're trying to land the plane and suddenly it's like your car skidding on ice or something ๐Ÿš—โ„๏ธ... and then there are people involved! It's not just a machine, you know? So many questions about what happened before the crash, maybe some safety issue or maintenance problem ๐Ÿค”... gotta be investigating all that. Glad no one was killed though ๐Ÿ’•. These airparks near residential areas, they're supposed to be safe, right? ๐Ÿšซ Just got lucky those two people made it out alive ๐Ÿ˜….
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this crazy thing that happened on Friday ๐Ÿคฏ. I mean, can you even imagine losing control of a plane mid-landing? It's like something out of a movie! Anyway, glad to hear both people are okay, but seriously what was going through the pilot's mind at that moment? Should've seen it coming, right? ๐Ÿ’ฅ

I'm also a bit concerned about this airpark being so close to residential areas... I know it's private and all, but still, accidents like this can be super scary. And now there's an investigation happening? Better get to the bottom of what went wrong, you feel? ๐Ÿ”
 
omg this is crazy... like what are the chances right? two people walking away from that crash is literally a miracle... i'm just glad no one was seriously hurt ๐Ÿ™ the fact that it rolled over and crashed into a hangar is wild, i mean who crashes into a house in their backyard?! the FAA should definitely be looking into this, aviation incidents are getting more frequent lately and it's time to figure out what's going on ๐Ÿ˜•
 
๐Ÿ˜ฑ can't believe what I just read about that plane crash near Downers Grove ๐Ÿš๐Ÿ›ซ๏ธ. Two people, including the pilot, got hurt pretty badly ๐Ÿ˜ท. It's crazy to think that something like this could happen at a private airpark with homes all around ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ’จ. What if there were more people nearby? Thankfully, everyone is safe, but still... it's a huge shock ๐Ÿ’ฅ. We need to be thinking about how we can prevent these kinds of incidents from happening again ๐Ÿค”. More regulations on small planes or something? Don't know, just seems like something should change ๐Ÿ‘€
 
Bad luck for that plane, literally ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ›ซ๏ธ! Can't believe it crashed just yards from a golf course ๐Ÿ˜‚. Pilots gotta stay sharp, even with those fancy flying schools ๐Ÿค“. Glad no one was killed, though... that'd be a real crash-and-burn situation ๐Ÿ˜ณ.
 
Ugh ๐Ÿค•, this just gets worse and worse... Can't believe that plane crashed in a residential area, near all these homes with kids living there... like, what were they even thinking? ๐Ÿ™„ And now two people are hurt, but at least they're okay I guess? ๐Ÿคž Pilot's lost control of the plane for real this time, that's so scary ๐Ÿ˜จ. Airpark runways are basically playgrounds for pilots who can't handle their planes... FAA investigating, like it's not happening all the time around here ๐Ÿšซ. Just great, another reason to freak out about air travel...
 
Man, I'm just glad that the people involved got out alive ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜Œ! Like, can you even imagine if things had gone really wrong? It's crazy to think about how close we were to something super bad happening. The fact that the plane went off course and crashed into a hangar is wild, but at least it was a relatively small crash compared to like, what could've happened if it had crashed on the main highway or something ๐Ÿ˜ณ. And you know, it's not all bad news โ€“ I mean, the FAA is investigating this, so maybe we'll get some answers about why this happened and how they can prevent similar incidents in the future ๐Ÿค”. Plus, those two people are gonna be okay, which is all that matters ๐Ÿ’•.
 
๐Ÿคฏ I mean, what just happened? A plane crash near Downers Grove that's got me thinking... how do you even lose control of a single-engine Cessna 195? Like, the pilot had to have been doing something right for all those years if they're now having these kinds of mishaps. ๐Ÿค”

And the fact that it rolled over and crashed into a hangar is just crazy. I'm glad no one was killed, but two people injured? That's still really worrying. What were they even doing in a small plane anyway? Were they flying solo or with an instructor? ๐Ÿš€

I guess what I'm trying to say is that this incident highlights some serious concerns about aviation safety and training. The FAA needs to get to the bottom of this and figure out how it happened, but for now, I'm just gonna sit back and think... "what if?" ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
 
omg this is so scary can u even imagine being on that plane thinking ur gonna crash ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ˜ฑ i mean seriously whats going thru the pilot's mind when he loses control like what happened next?? and btw why dont they have those plane safety tests before u take off its crazy to me that someone lives in a hangar near an airport ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿš€
