Looking at the pic, the engine was not developing power at time of the impact
* That may be because it had stopped of its own volition (from whatever cause) but it may also be because the pilot did what he was taught and shut it down once he knew he was going to land on that street. Those engines stop very quickly unlike some others which cough and splutter before deciding to cooperate. The pilot did an excellent job.
* When I first looked at the photo I thought the first picture showed a nasty bend in the top blade but this didn't appear to be so in the second photo.
100LL:
Maybe we should start a thread, Who is Sternone.
Perhaps we should get him to post his photo on the JB Photo thread.
