Plane Crash on Highway Saved by Civilians
Description
A business jet crashed violently on a Texas highway late Tuesday night, breaking in half and igniting flames—yet civilians and first responders pulled off a daring rescue. Witnesses say smoke billowed as bystanders, including a 23-year-old named Ivan Franco, smashed through the cockpit with a sledgehammer and shovel, creating a vital opening. Though they couldn’t breach the reinforced glass, their bravery bought time for firefighters to storm inside with oxygen masks. A dog was saved too. Five people—including a truck driver struck by the wing—were treated and released. Authorities hailed the unsung heroes whose quick action turned tragedy into survival.
