Teens survive after airplane crashes on Kansas golf course

-


source: Associated Press
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Two teenagers were able to walk away from a rented airplane that one of them was piloting when it crashed onto a Kansas golf course, narrowly missing nearby homes.
A 17-year-old boy was flying the 1966 single-engine Mooney on Friday afternoon when it came down on the 14th hole at the Tallgrass Country Club, Wichita police said. An 18-year-old woman also was aboard.
Nikki Womack, who lives near the golf course, said she and her daughter saw the plane fly very low over their neighbor's home before crashing on the golf course, The Wichita Eagle (http://bit.ly/1UHBssc ) reported.
"I thought maybe it would flip, but it just hit real softly, pretty much," Womack said. "It kind of bounced up" as it scraped through a sand trap and came to rest just short of the green. Womack dialed 911 as she ran outside to see if she could help.
The boy climbed out of the wreckage first and was bleeding from the top of his head, she said, followed by the woman who was bleeding and had an eye injury. She had both of them lay down before first responders arrived.
Marlene Wilcox, an operator at Wesley Medical Center in Wichita, said Saturday that the woman was treated and released and the boy was listed in fair condition.
Wichita Police Lt. Paul Duff said the plane was on its way from Nashville, Tennessee, to Jabara Airport in Wichita, just northeast of the crash site.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating, Duff said.
The airplane is owned by Sabris Corp., whose owner, David Dewhirst, said it was one of his company's rentals and was on approach for landing at Jabara.
"The report is he had an engine failure . and could not make it to the airport," Dewhirst said. "But we've probably totaled an airplane."
Golf course superintendent Mike Colestock said nobody was playing the 14th hole when the plane went down on the cold, wet and windy day.
"Nobody was around," he said. "I'm glad we weren't having a 75-degree day and golfers out here."

                                            By Okechukwu Okugo Is there any condition one can find oneself in life and it is justified to give up? Can something really ugly be turned into a thing of celebration? Before you answer here is the story of Godfrey Baguma who has been dubbed the ugliest man in Uganda. To start with, Godfrey was born normal until a rare unknown medical condition transfigured his face totally. Despite his condition he went ahead to marry one of the prettiest ladies in Uganda, his second wife after he divorced his first wife due to infidelity.

Nine-year-old Dunia Sibomana was the lone survivor three years ago when chimpanzees attacked him and two playmates near a preserve in Congo. His 4-year-old brother and a young cousin died. Dunia's face was left a frightening mask. His lips were ripped off, his cheek was torn apart and he was left with muscle damage that made it hard to swallow or communicate. In January, Dunia underwent a rare surgery at a Long Island hospital that involved grafting tissue and muscle from his forearm to recreate his lips. He still has a lot of healing ahead of him, but nearly a year later, Dunia is thriving with a host family in Brooklyn. He can once again o...

"World's Highest Bridge" Opens in China Over 1,850-Foot Gorge

omments   Sign in to like   Reblog on Tumblr   Share   Tweet   Email A bridge in China suspended over a  1,854-foot gorge became the "world's highest"  when it opened to automotive traffic Thursday, reports said. The Beipanjiang Bridge took three years to build, cost more than $146.7 million dollars, and stretches to be 4,396 feet long. Its four-lane roadway sits nearly two thousand feet over the Beipan River, which it's named after, to connect the Yunnan and Guizhou provinces in southwest China,  People's Daily Online  reported. It surpassed the 1,837-foot-tall Sidu River Bridge for its world record title. We know what you're thinking: $146.7 million is cheap! And it is! After all, when the Golden Gate Bridge spanning San Francisco Bay was built in 1933 it cost $1.5 billion (in adjusted dollars), and the brand new New Bay Bridge, on the other side of town, ended up costing a whopping $6.7 billion when it was finished i...
