plane crashed on takeoff attempt after emergency landing

http://www.wafb.com/Global/story.asp?S=4038264

I found this link in alt.binaries.multimedia.aviation. I thought you guys
should see this. After seeing this clip, I wonder why the pilot would begin
a takeoff rollout with all the vehicles on the side of road. The risk factor
would cut down enormously if you ask those vehicles to move away.

He was stupid enough to run the plane out of gas and you wonder that he's still
stupid after they fill it up again?

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

Don't most insurance policies provide disassembly, removal and reassembly
for situations like this to prevent situations like this? My policy is in
the safe but I am pretty sure it does.

Sadily, I don't think this is the only video of the same thing.

You'd a thunk he would have heard the old saw "No such thing as an
emergency takeoff".

A friend who used to run a flight school had a renter total a 152 pretty
much the same way. Landed on a road due to "engine trouble" then tried
to take off again. Clipped a sign and proceeded into the woods.

holy smokes, this guy is deep in the hole now.

i doubt insurance will cover any of the damage. totalled airplane,
damage to the truck, damage to the fire engine, and towing.

that is one hell of an expensive golf outing.

A safe pilot would have walked down the takeoff route carefully
measuring the distance and the side to side clearances. Both the
emergency landing and the collision on takeoff were preventable.

My comment is only to seriously question the judgement of the pilot.

A question that the FAA will likely ask.

Why? If the guy has insurance, he's covered. Same as if you wreck your
(insured) car while driving drunk, without a license, doing the nasty with
under-age prostitutes, taking pot shots out the window with your illegal
machine gun, and transporting a trunk full of mary-jane..

You'd have a heck of a time getting the *next* policy underwritten, but your
current policy is in effect...
