Kid's Courage, Tragedy as Plane Crashes in St. Augustin Near Bonn
- Aviator perishes; daughter extracted from flaming debris
Hey there! Let's talk about a grim event that happened a few days back. A little girl showed some serious cojones, I mean courage, when a small propeller plane she was on with her dad, crashed in a field near St. Augustin, near the bonkers city of Bonn.
The pilot, a 51-year-old fellow from Cologne, well... he didn't make it. RIP, mate. On the brighter side, his six-year-old daughter managed to claw her way out of the burning wreckage, but she's got some pretty nasty injuries to boot. The authorities said she wasn't in any immediate danger of kicking the bucket, though. First responders worked their magic on her, and she was carted off to the hospital.
The plane went down shortly after taking off from Hangelar Airport in the afternoon, and for the life of me, I can't figure out why it happened. The authorities said it erupted in flames soon after the crash and that the first responders on the scene had quite the challenge extinguishing the inferno.
Now, this tiny propeller plane thingy wasn't toys for tots, it was a bona fide aircraft, but you probably already guessed that, right? The poor pilot was found dead in the twisted heap of metal.
Once the fire was doused, investigators from the Federal Bureau of Aircraft Accident Investigation and air traffic control started snooping around the crash site to figure out just what the hell happened. Man, it's gotta be rough for those first responders; they saw some shit they'll never forget.

Be thankful you're not a first responder, 'cause they've got a doozy of a job when stuff like this goes down.
