A twin-engine plane at Central Jersey Regional Airport crashed into a chain link fence, and two men were injured, reports MyCentralJersey.com.
The two 44-year-old men were attempting to land the plane when it overturned 200 feet off the runway. About 400 feet beyond the fence are trees that border the outskirts of the air field.
Listed in serious condition today, one of the men was airlifted to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick. The other man fared better and sustained minor injuries and is in fair condition.
Speculation is that the fence saved the two men from more injury or even from death. It is likely that if not for the fence, the plane would have hit the trees that border the airport and caught on fire.
A retired flight instructor who worked out of Central Jersey Regional Airport said, “I’ve seen a lot of accidents. There is no other way to describe this. It is miraculous that they survived.”
Estimating that the plane was going 60 to 75 mph when it crashed, the flight instructor said that the chain-link fence slowed the plane just enough to absorb some of the energy to keep the plane intact.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the cause of the crash.

Proving medical malpractice is notoriously difficult. That’s because every patient is different, and bad outcomes can happen even when doctors, surgeons, and other healthcare providers are thorough, attentive, and follow all protocols and guidelines when treating patients. In addition to being difficult to prove, doctors, surgeons, and other providers rarely admit to malpractice when it […]

When people are hospitalized, they and their loved ones expect for them to get better. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen, and sometimes, their health declines because they contract diseases that are primarily found in hospitals. One of the most dreaded hospital-related illnesses is an intestinal illness caused by a bacteria called Clostridioides difficile, or C. […]

One of the most common traffic violations committed by any driver is driving with a burned-out headlight, taillight, brake light, or turn signal. While these traffic violations can be dangerous for drivers of pickup trucks, sedans, and SUVs, they can be extremely hazardous for drivers of semi-trucks—and the people driving near them. Burned out semi-truck […]
