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.

The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.
