VIDEO: LA cops pull pilot from plane moments before train hits it

Los Angeles police officers pulled an injured pilot from the wreckage of a small plane that crash landed on railroad tracks just moments before a commuter train smashed into the aircraft over the weekend. Bodycam video showed the officers working furiously Sunday afternoon to disentangle the bloodied pilot from the cockpit of the crumpled Cessna 172. Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!” someone yelled as the officers dragged the man away seconds before the Metrolink train, its horn blaring, barreled through the plane. The plane crashed shortly after takeoff at 2:10 p.m. from Whiteman Airport in the San Fernando Valley community of Pacoima, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The timestamp on a police officer’s body camera showed that the train hit the plane at 2:15 p.m. Full Story: _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: KMPH on Facebook: KMPH on Twitter: KMPH on Instagram: Subscribe to KMPH on YouTube: Daily News Playlist: For more information, visit Have a news tip?
