Today a small private aircraft crashed on the Danish Island of Endelave. Luckily both thec pilot and the passenger walked away with only minor bruises, which seems incredible, when you consider the damage to the plane:

Reminds me of all the times I've made a rough belly landing in BoS and had the plane pretty much torn apart around me but the pilot remaining unscathed or only lightly injured and thinking: "No way that'd happen IRL!'

Dr400s are tough birds, that why we get our gliders towed by one. Must have been a hell of an impact to rip both wings off. It's always good to hear the pilots are okay unlike the poor Dr400.
