Brit Lands Small Plane in Bulgarian Cemetery

A small plane piloted by a British citizen has made an emergency landing in a cemetery in Southern Bulgaria.

The two-seat plane landed in the cemetery of the village of Bogomilo near Stara Zagora, BTA reported. The British pilot and the other man on board were not hurt, BTA reported.

However, upon landing, the plane cut power lines leaving the entire village without electricity on Easter. The EVN power utility has sent emergency teams to fix the problem.

The Brit who piloted the plane is an experienced pilot without over 130 hours of practice. The most likely cause of the emergency landing is a problem with engine.

I suppose the pilot thought, if we are going to die I might as well land in the most obvious place and the :Angel1:was on his side

I wonder if they landed in daylight or the dead of night.

British Woeful Pilot Hailed as Hero in Bulgaria

A British pilot, who made an emergency landing in a cemetery in Southern Bulgaria, but steered clear of the nearby village, has been praised as a hero by the locals.

Richard Wolf from London blacked out the entire village of Bogomilo near Stara Zagora,, when he ploughed through the high-voltage cables as he brought his two-seater LZ-300L plane to land in a cemetery.

Passenger, businessman Mladen Stoyanov, says locals are thankful he avoided crashing into the village and killing people.

"
He managed to steer the plane away from the town itself. He saved many people. They were left without power but he was still branded a hero,"
Stoyanov said, as cited by the Daily Mail.
