Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Watch as a student pilot experiences an engine failure and crashes during a solo flight in Connecticut. This intense video recreates the frightening moment of a plane crash.
Note: Due to issues with the recreation in the simulator the flaps may appear down when they were most likely not. (I will work on this in the future.)

I was so hopping she would make the field and land. Back in the early 60's I took helicopter lessons and on my solo cross country, so many things went wrong. I got into Long Beach control and was called a "ding-a-ling" and then almost had a mid-air-crash with a Disneyland helicopter. It was dark when I got back to Burbank airport and discovered my radio malfunctioned. That was the short version of my flight that day. I did not fly after that. Thanks for posting.
A lot of lakes there.
