Pilot Averts Plane Disaster
Another wild plane incident involving a pilot has occurred in June. This time in Portland, Oregon. And just like many of the other recent airplane incidents, it was a close call. And thus going viral on social media.
The pilot of the aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing on the Columbia River. This was due to the engine on his small plane malfunctioning. It occurred as the plane was approaching the Troutdale Airport on June 24.
The pilot, Rick Boettcher, boasts more than 25 years of experience. So luckily he escaped the incident unscathed after the crash landing on Monday afternoon.
After escaping the aircraft, Boettcher was forced to swim to safety. He was then picked up by first responders and taken to the hospital for medical evaluation.
