Pilot and passenger rescued from plane that crashed into power lines in Montgomery County
A small plane crashed into high-voltage power lines in Montgomery County, Md., on Nov. 27, cutting power to nearly 100,000 homes and businesses. A pilot and a passenger were rescued from a small plane that had crashed into power lines in Maryland after an hours-long ordeal that saw power cut to nearly 100,000 homes and businesses and plunged rescuers into a complex effort to safely remove the people aboard.
A D.C. pilot with the same name and age survived at least one crash before Sunday’s. On Aug. 4, 1992, a single-engine plane piloted by Patrick Merkle struck the side of a mountain in Farmington Canyon, Utah, according to an account in the Salt Lake Tribune. Part of the wings and tail section were ripped off as the plane flew through pine trees, the newspaper account said, and the fuselage crashed into the side of the mountain.
The terrifying oddity of the incident drew hundreds of onlookers to a shopping center at the intersection of Goshen Road and Rothbury Drive. They milled about and gazed up at the white airplane stuck in the tower, at times barely visible through the nighttime fog. Gift Okoli and her husband, Thierry Mbieuleu, were at their home in Germantown on Sunday evening when they began reading accounts of the suspended airplane. They headed over to see it, making their way to a shopping center parking lot where hundreds had gathered.Okoli told Mbieuleu she hoped that rescue workers could somehow attach ropes to the airplane even before their rescue operation began. The couple was nervous for the occupants of the plane.
