According to the Daily Mail, firefighters of St. Petersburg are unclear about what caused the twin-engine Cessna 402B to come down, but credit the pilot for landing as successfully as he did, avoiding buildings or potential fatalities.
"Where I looked up and could see him going sideways, it was right over where the school was, and if he would've gone down over there, he would've probably hit children, because kids were getting out of school," said one witness, Tabitha Callihan.
