Default Cirrus Lands via Parachute in Nantucket

Looks like another save for BRS and Cirrus.

Apparently a Cirrus was attempting to land ACK VFR last night when they
ran into weather (fog and low visibility after sunset on the island are
common in the summer). They pulled the Ballistic Recovery System
parachute about 5 miles northeast of ACK.

The two aboard had minor injuries but will be ok. Nobody was injured on
the ground.

Here is a news link:

Other reports said that it was a Cirrus, although the make/model hasn't
been confirmed yet.
