A light plane carrying American tourists crashed on the Great Barrier Reef island in Australia. Rescuers who arrived at the scene of the plane crash were stunned by the fact that all the people on board the aircraft remained alive, 7news reports.
According to the portal, the plane crashed on January 8 almost immediately after takeoff — it crashed into trees and then turned over near the ground and crashed. In addition to the pilot, there were nine tourists on board, including a 14-year-old girl.
As a result of the crash, people received various injuries, including fractures and concussions, but they all survived. Rescuers arrived at the crash site within an hour. They found that all the victims were able to get out of the wreckage of the plane on their own.
People were taken by helicopter to the hospital.
“To have virtually no injuries in a crash like this is simply incredible,” emergency services said after the rescue operation.
