Sydney, Australia-a dramatic emergency landing was ending in tragedy Sunday afternoon (17) in Mona Vale, New South Wales, when a small Piper Cherokee (registration VH-bun) crashed on a Golf course after Motor accident.
The plane transported an aircraft instructor and a student pilot when the engine suddenly failed during the flight. Without safe landing alternatives, the crew chose to make the maneuver at Mona Vale Golf Course, where dozens of people played golf at that time.
Videos shared on social media show the exact moment when the plane quickly lost height and hit the ground, before it slipped over the grass and stopped.

Despite the seriousness of the incident, none of those on board were seriously injured, only lighter scrubs. They got on -site help and were transported to Royal North Shore Hospital in stable state.
However, the aircraft suffered extensive damage and is not considered repairable according to preliminary reports.
Golfers who witnessed the incident ran to help the pilots immediately after landing. “Suddenly we heard the engine cheat, and we saw the plane coming low, right over our heads,” one of the club members told.
The case is now being investigated by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) and Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), who have asked the audience for photos and videos that can contribute to the survey.

This is not the first time a plane has landed on a golf course recently. Earlier this year, a Cessna 172 managed to carry out a successful emergency landing without any major damage to a golf course in California, USA.
