Plane Crashes on Highway, Civilians Rush to Help
Description
A business jet crashed on a Texas highway late Tuesday night, breaking apart on impact after pilots reported mechanical trouble. Civilians—including a tow truck driver armed with a sledgehammer—rushed to help, using tools from their cars to break into the cockpit’s reinforced glass. Despite the difficulty, firefighters eventually extracted all five survivors, while five police officers were treated for smoke inhalation. The dog aboard also survived. Authorities are investigating, amid a string of recent aviation incidents, and hailed the quick, heroic response of bystanders as vital to saving lives.
