Saw somewhere that a 'Mayday' was issued - and that the excitement resulted
from a complete loss of power. Due minimal damage (yeah, I know it's
prolly a write-off) we should find out eventually.
The important thing is that whoever was flying it KEPT flying it with the
result it was a fully controlled "event" with minimal injuries - good on
'em!
