    Default Plane Hits, Kills Man Walking on S.C. Beach

    Talk about crappy luck!

    Plane Hits, Kills Man Walking on S.C. Beach

    HILTON HEAD, S.C. — An official says a plane making an emergency landing struck and killed a man who was walking or jogging along a Hilton Head, S.C., beach.

    A Hilton Head Island fire and rescue spokeswoman says the single-engine plane started leaking oil at about 13,000 feet and was trying to land at the local airport. Joheida Fister says the oil blocked the pilot's vision and he tried to land on the beach at Palmetto Dunes late Monday afternoon.

    She says the pilot reported that the propeller came off the plane. She says the plane hit the man and came to rest a little farther down the beach.

    The names of the man killed, pilot and passenger were not released. The plane was an Experimental Lancair IV-P.

    Fister says federal transportation officials are investigating.

    a plane flying in stealth mode without a prop will sneak up on you

    That's why I don't exercise on the beach.... I have a phobia of silent planes having emergencies.

    "How did your husband die?"

    "He was hit by a plane while jogging on the beach."

    "You mean a pelican right?"

    "Nope, a plane?"

    "Someone was flying a toy plan and it hit him and he was killed?"

    "No, a real bonafide plane fell out of the sky and hit him and killed him while he was running on the beach."

    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    What the newspaper didn't tell you is the guy that was hit had a narrow escape earlier in the week when a train swerved to avoid a car and almost hit him.

    "One of its landing gear appeared to strike the back of Jones' head, she said. The Coroner's Office said preliminary autopsy results show that Jones died of blunt force trauma to the head and neck."

    What are the odds, the poor sob got hit in the head with a tire. Just a little more to the right or to the left...

    "The plane -- a fixed-wing Lancair IV-P -- is registered to Smith, who built it from a kit last year, according to the FAA."
