"GILBERT — The pilot of a burning plane radioed into the tower to say, “fire on the wing, fire in the airplane,” moments before he bailed out of the aircraft in a parachute and it plunged into a suburban Phoenix home.
The harrowing scene unfolded Saturday during what was supposed to be a thrilling pyrotechnic skydive jump at a town fair.
But at some point, the single-engine Cessna carrying the skydivers caught fire. The skydivers jumped and landed at their intended spot while the pilot remained at the controls of the doomed aircraft."
