Phil to the Rescue! - Plane Crash in Kanazawa



Japan Today

A light single-engine plane made an emergency landing on a road construction site in Kanazawa City in Ishikawa Prefecture on Friday afternoon. The plane, which was piloted by a 60-year-old British man, was on a flight from Niigata to Hiroshima.



A friend of ours, Phil, saw the crash and searched online for information about the crash and followed an electronic bread-crumb trail to information about the pilot. Eventually he was able to contact the pilot and even assist him with his abrupt stay in Kanazawa. Apparently the pilot was a bit of a wanker, but perhaps I can get Phil to comment on that himself.
