Members of the public walking along Durban beach front were not just seeing things when they noticed a light aircraft flying rather low near the shore. Not long after that, the aircraft crash landed on to South beach.
ER24 paramedics, along with other emergency personnel, arrived on the scene to find the aircraft still on three wheels in the middle of the beach. Members of the public had gathered around the plane in amazement.
The pilot and co pilot were unharmed in the incident but were taken to hospital by ambulance for a general check up.
It is believed that the light aircraft had started to have engine failure and the pilot had to prepare for an emergency landing. He noticed an open space on the beach and prepared for the landing. At this thime the only damage to the plane that could be seen was on the left wing which had hit a pole that was in the sand.
The necessary authorities have been notified.
