All 3 occupants are OK.

Glad they came out all right. Strange that the pilot reported icing last
night -- it was clear here.

Why does the press refer to emergency landings as 'crashes',,, if they were
truly uncontrolled as the word "crash" implies, there would have more likely
been fatalities rather than minor injuries... grrr :-)

if you miss the runway.. its a crash... even if it's an intentional
outlanding in a field by a glider because the lift deteriorated..

but then again.. I've seen some crashes... and dashes.. on the runway..

That's right.

"Today we are reporting that a twin engine Cirrus Piper crashed on a road
just outside Tweediddle township. Fortunately, there were no injuries and
the airplane, after some minor engine repairs, was allowed to take off from
the road."

I know what you mean. To *me*, a plane that lands off field ,
well they landed....no major damage to people or property including
the aircraft. But in this case where it was reported that
there was serious damage to the plane, I'd generally say that
was a 'crash' as it was a 'mere arrival' was and the damage was
unintended.

You can do both. If you make an emergency landing and break the
airplane (BTDT), it's fair to call it a crash.

Sensationalism. They can be educated, though. Our local station used
to refer to every plane that didn't land at the airport as a "crash".
Between
calls, email, and letters, I must have explained to them 50 times that
it's
not always a crash. Finally, either I, or someone got through to them
because
now a crash is a crash, an emergency landing is an emergency landing. Just
recently a Cessna (150 series) came down in a field and flipped over
when the nose wheel bogged down in the snow. The report was something like
this: "A single engine Cessna airplane made an emergency landing at a
Berkshire farm today after the engine suffered a loss of power. Both
pilots
were shaken but unhurt when the front wheel sunk in the snow and flipped
the plane over as it was coasting to a stop". (insert picture of inverted
plane in the snow with a few cops standing around with coffee and donuts)
Really not bad as news stories go

Hm, so when a car flips over, can that still be called a crash, or has the
driver just performed an "emergency parking"?
