Light plane down in Tumut, west of Canberra
ABC news reporting a pilot has been hospitalised after a "self made" plane crashed at Tumut, west of Canberra
Video taken by first responder suggests there was a post crash fire that was extinguished.
The pilot appears ok in the video.

The pilot appears ok in the video.
The high level of downward G-forces in the crash landing is clearly indicated by the downwards fracturing of both wings.
Pilot sits in shock after crash landing into NSW paddock
From the footage I saw on TV this morning (same as shown in the video) it was clear that he was in a bad way. Was appalled that the person talking to him told him to roll over onto his back!

It's a video, I wrote he appears ok.
Corporate and state media have policy on showing victims in distress.
I suggest that the public would not think he is in (much) distress.

Pretty rude the media posting footage of a clearly injured pilot post crash.
I suggest that the public would not think he is in (much) distress.
