A single-engine plane lost altitude right after takeoff, and crashed into a tree in Foley, Alabama on Tuesday. Then it burst into flames but the pilot survived and a security camera on a business next door got it on video.
The pilot’s name is Russell Smith and he looks like he’s about 60. In the end, he had a small cut on his hand and said he’ll probably be sore for a while mostly from jumping out of the plane. But he wasn’t even planning to go to the hospital.
