Description
The pilot of the plane that crashed into Elliott Bay on Thursday said an engine failure forced him to land his Cessna.
"Once you get into one of these scenarios, your first thought is, Where am I going to put this thing where it's safe?"
It was a decision pilot Brendan Ross had 20 seconds to make.
“So, I knew Alaskan Way was going to hit people on the ground and I really didn't want to do that, so it left the waterfront," said Ross. When the engine on his Cessna stopped, the power faded out.
Many people had a front-row seat, sending in video from all angles and calling 911. People on the land say it took a while to register that a plane had crashed because of how smoothly it came down.
