Plane Crashes at St. Mary's Airport

HOLLYWOOD - 3/5/2008

Printer friendly

By Sean Rice, Managing Editor

 A single-engine airplane crashed on the runway of St. Mary’s Airport at 11:45 a.m. today.

 The crew at the Maryland State Police hangar that houses Trooper 7 reported two people were hurt and the craft is holding 50 gallons of fuel.

 The plane was originally reported as being a Cessna, but the plane was actually made by Maule, another poplar brand of plane known for being able to land and takeoff on very short runways.

 The county HAZMAT team was added to the call, along with volunteer firefighters and rescue squads from Hollywood, Bay District and Leonardtown.

 First arriving crews from Hollywood found the two people had escaped the plane unharmed and they refused medical treatment. Within minutes the call was scaled back.

 More details when they become available.

Wanna bet ....
This was planned for publicity too, just like Fusion. Probably called John Douglass prior to the crash so that he could have his lens ready.
Damn photographers.

Don't forget the cops being pushy and pushing the pilot down the runway. The first picture depicts the people planning it.

Reply to mulva: Hey!
John Douglass is money! He should clone himself and photograph every emergency scene in St. Mary's County. Oh - and I'd like to see some of the uncensored shots he's taken of the hotties at MIR! Holy smokes that boy can work a camera!

You are so almighty and wise. Of course the county staged a plane crash to get publicity, how stupid I feel for not realizing it sooner.

Reply to mulva: huh
mulva.. That sounds like paranoia (sp?), because as long as emergency vehicles were responding to this ... I could have been there with a camera too.
