No Injury Accident in Denver

I'm somewhat amazed that he not only flew/crashed into a residence he previously owned, but felt it necessary to extract himself from the wreckage, find the garden hose, and commenced to extinguish the flames. I wonder if he helped himself to the fridge while he was there?

As as a retired law enforcement officer, I learned most "coincidences" are not coincidences.

Planes into houses are hardly an anomaly. One of the best ever with one of the best post-crash lines ever.

I agree that the coincidence might deserve a brief official look, but it should be easy to determine if the guy had any incentive for deliberate damage.

For the rest, i don't see a problem. Many pilots have owned homes near airports, most crashes occur on or near airports. The guy sounds experienced; not unlikely he could maximize the survivability of the impact.

As for self-extricating himself from the wreck, I think that's something all of us would do.

As for getting a hose to put the fire out, the guy was apparently a firefighter. He would have known the value of knocking the fire down early.

I think he showed tremendous presence of mind in a critical situation, after what had to have been a tremendous shock. Again, what i would expect from a professional firefighter.

In any event, he showed a laudible sense of personal responsibility. He could have just walked out to the curb and dialed 911. Few would have criticized him.

Exactly, and without a doubt, intriguing.
