PHOTOS: As early spring nights go, Wednesday was pretty extraordinary for Nicholas Pulliam, who watched in awe, then horror as a small plane made a crash landing in his east-side neighborhood.
The two people aboard sustained minor injuries, authorities said.
"It was moving very slow through the air," he said of the single-engine plane that crashed through trees and into a backyard on the 12000 block of Duchess near Britain Avenue at about 8:45 p.m. "... I've never seen something like that, like up close, it was like slow motion in my mind because I'm like, 'Is that a plane? A baby blue plane just flying on Morang." The plane shimmied between the trees and two garages, knocking tree limbs onto a garage and coming to rest wedged between the building and a gate.
