German plane lands on speeding Porsche

Wed Jul 6, 7:51 AM ET

BERLIN (Reuters) - A German pilot and driver escaped unhurt when a
one-seater plane landed on top of a speeding car at a little-used
airport, police in the western town of Bitburg said on Wednesday.

"It was a miracle that no one was hurt. There was considerable damage
done to the plane and the car," said Klaus Schnarrbach, spokesman for
the Bitburg police.

The driver was racing at 160 kph (100 mph) with 11 other members of a
local Porsche club at the airport, a former U.S. air base, when the
single-engine plane accidentally landed on his roof. The shocked driver
slammed on the brakes, sending the plane crashing to the ground.

"The airplane managed to stay steady on the roof at first," said
Schnarrbach, adding the pilot faced possible charges of negligence.
"They probably couldn't have done it that well if they had tried," he said.
