My prayer is that God watches over everyone that is there.

"Three people were injured after a small plane crashed in front of horrified fans at a major NHRA drag racing event in Pomona, California on Sunday.

The crash occurred when the plane attempted to land at an airfield near the In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip, ABC 7 reported.

Survivors were rushed to the hospital, and the plane smashed multiple parked cars and a camper, witnesses told journalist Jerry Jordan."

I wonder if the plane dragged the truck out of it's parking spot as it smushed it? It does appear to have moved the motorhome. It would have been a major disaster if it caught fire. :eek:

Thanks for the photos of the incident.

This could have been so much worse. Prayers for the people on the plane that were injured.

Looks like God had a hand in keeping everyone safe with so many being at the race. Guess we better put this on the list of modern day miracles.

Thank You God for keeping all the racers and spectators safe.

The Motorhome that was hit belonged to Ron Capps.

Thanks for that info Ed. Do you or anyone have info on the other vehicles damaged? Also, any info yet on how the pilot and passengers are doing? That info may take some time to be public.

This guy does a very good job of breaking down aviation incidents. He?s a commercial pilot and dispels a lot of the armchair pilot rumors.

Wasn't Capps motorhome. His was 2 down from crash and ended up driving his to the banquet last night.

Just relayed what was reported

Re: Plane crash in to pits/motorhomes at Pomona
 

Had heard that rumor too but I would believe his to be a little nicer and most drivers m/hs were parked in the back field near gate 17 I believe

If you go to the Sunday broadcast on NHRA.tv around 06:39:02 Jason Galvin is interviewing Ron Capps. He says that his motorhome was parked in that area. Was thankful to all that helped.

I have been out of town and away from my computer after the race. I was right by the fence on the pit side. The plane passed right above me about 20ft. I saw it coming it was back firing out the exhaust and wobbling in the air. The prop was not turning at rpms. It just dropped out of the air. I can not say enough good things about the first responders. By the time I got back around the fence they had 2 individuals out of the plane. There was fuel all over the ground. This could have been a major disaster.
