Light Plane crashes into Ferris Wheel in NSW, Australia
Apologies if this would be better suited to another part of the forum. A small plane has collided with a Ferris Wheel at a fairground in NSW, Australia. At the time of writing the plane's pilot and passenger appear to remain trapped. No apparent injuries to the children on the ride.

According to other news reports, the ultralight plane is a Cheetah S200. Placement of the Ferris wheel in the takeoff path seems odd if flying was to be conducted during the fair. Or flying with the Ferris in the takeoff path seems odd. Lucky nobody seems to have been seriously hurt or worse.
