Just over a week ago, a friend of Dad's was almost killed in a plane crash, he was flying a 172 to someone and stalled shortly after takeoff. He was paralyzed from the neck down for a short time and now is in therapy. Many friends (including Dad) are flying for him until he can fly again.
Please pray for him to have a full recovery.

He is lucky to be alive after a crash, that's a good thing. I wish him a good recovery.

Edit : didn't saw the picture. Yeah, it's a kind of miracle that there was no fire. Probably that your dad's friend had the good reflex to cut the fuel tank valve & the engine just before crash. Also, it shows that those Cessna have a very strong structure.

That photo in the story leads me to think there may have been some divine intervention in order for him to be alive at all after the crash. Here's to praying for a speedy and complication free recovery.

Unlucky of him to haven gotten into that ugly mess, but he's sure lucky to have gotten out of it. I wish him well.

From what I heard he climbed to fast and stalled at about 40 feet, he had no time to recover from the stall.

Thank you all.

From last report he can walk with allot of help. He still can't move or feel his left arm.

My best wishes for a speedy recovery to him. Glad to hear it isn't as bad as it looks like it could have been.
