Small airplane crashes on Layton golf course - fox13now.com

LAYTON, Utah â€" Two people were extricated from a single-engine Cessna airplane after it crashed on a Layton golf course Saturday morning.

The crash occurred at Valley View Golf Course, 2501 E. Gentile Street. There were two male occupants in the plane, officials stated. The pilot was treated for minor injuries on scene and the other occupant was taken to McKay Dee Hospital in fair condition.

According to a press release, witnesses said they saw the plane glide into the area of the golf course and clip its wing on a tree. After clipping the tree, the plane spun face down and ended up coming to a rest in a sand trap.

“It was extremely lucky that no patrons at this golf course sustained injuries due to the many patrons at this course today. The course also neighbors homes to the south on Gentile Street that could have been involved” said Doug Bitton, Layton City Fire Public Information Officer, in the press release.

Dustin Volk, head golf professional at Valley View Golf Course, echoed that sentiment.

“There was people over on the driving range and it narrowly missed them, and so boy we’re just feeling blessed and lucky that nobody was seriously hurt here today,” he said.

Volk said both men were conscious at the scene of the crash.

“The pilot looked a little more beat up,” he said. “There was some blood coming from his head, and he was kind of pinned a little bit in the plane.”

The pilot told authorities he was flying at about 5,000 feet when the craft experienced engine loss. The plane had departed from Skypark Airport in Woods Cross Saturday morning and landed in Logan. After the two men ate breakfast they departed to return to Woods Cross, which is when the crash occurred.

The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating. The aircraft was rented by the pair from Bountiful Flight. Jason Clark, owner of Bountiful Flight, spoke about the crash.

“We do more inspections on these airplanes than are even required for the FAA, we go over and above what we need to do to make sure these airplane are safe,” he said. “So far, what we can tell is it wasn’t a mechanical problem; it was most likely pilot error.”

Authorities have not released any information about what may have caused the crash, and the airplane has been moved to a nearby hangarâ€"where it will be investigated by officials.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking t...

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin M...
