On the 5th of September 2024, a single-engine plane crashed in Gqeberha (previously Port Elizabeth).
The video above shows the moments after the crash.
The video shows two men getting into a physical altercation, but the post reveals little detail about this. We did notice the police officers rush onto the scene in the video.
Any news that comes out of Gqeberha makes us think of Executive Producer Rory Petzer, as this is home to him. So, of course, we wanted to get Rory's input before we delved more into the story and the details surrounding what happened.
This is crazy! I spent at least 25 years of my life living in Albert Road, Walmer in Gqeberha which was a stone’s throw from the airport, so I feel pretty fortunate this never happened outside our house! There were often some scary moments when big Boeings would fly low and terrifyingly close to our roof as they came in to land. But a light aircraft hitting potholes in our neighbourhood? Never! I’m glad nobody was seriously injured.
Thankfully, no one was hurt, but seeing an aircraft outside your house was unusual. It was like something out of a movie...
According to the SABC News, the incident occurred after the pilot lost control due to an engine failure. The pilot and his two passengers did not seem to be injured and fled the scene after the crash.
