I am reminded of the Fireman's statement after a light aircraft ran out of fuel and landed in a residential area (of Los Angeles ?), "Lucky there was no fuel on board or the situation could have been much worse !"
We had a similar one here where a jump plane came down and the cause looked like the pilot forgot to retrim after landing causing it to stall. The TV guy said "Lucky the plane was so low when it got into difficulties or this could have been much worse"
