The laws of probability had it in for this poor guy
A single-engine plane killed a jogger yesterday as it made an emergency landing on a beach.The plane had been experiencing engine trouble for over an hour as it flew up the coast from Florida towards Virginia in the U.S. It was directed to land at Hilton Head Airport in South Carolina but at 13,000ft oil began to leak on the windshield blocking the view of the pilot and his passenger. Then the propeller came off and the pilot decided to make an emergency landing on the beach near the Hilton Head Marriott Resort and Spa. It was at this point that the Experimental Lancair IV-P plane hit the beachgoer who was either jogging or walking. The plane came to rest a little farther down the beach....
