Old Bar beach nsw, plane hits a farriswheel,
The guys in the plane must have felt like a fly getting caught in a spiders web.
Jesus H Christ! , we thank him that there were no kids in that wheel at the time and just HOW lucky are these two blokes!
Good video from Reuters here..

Looking at the plane, it was rather low to the ground <10m.
Thank God the kids didn't get hit.
Probably not a good idea to erect a ferris wheel less than 150m from the end of a runway.
The farris wheel use to be for the little kids who were too scared to go on the big kids rides.
The Gravatron has nothing on the farris wheel at the end of a runway.
Hey lotofwind, if you went windsurfing once in a while you wouldn't have to go to fairgrounds to get your thrills.
I know you are bitterly disappointed the kiddies ferris wheel is out of action and you can't go for a ride.
I know you were hoping to get to the top and then spin around a few times in your seat, whilst shouting 'hey mummy look at me' to simulate kitesurfing.
I know your are upset that nasty man in his aeroplane has put an end to your all your excitement this weekend.
But, I heard that the tractor rides are still on and the Donkeys are still available so maybe you could try one of those instead ??
They havent had tractor and donkey ride at the fair for 30 years old boy.
After driving up to watching the poledancing comp at lunch time today( yeah I was really bored) , even just watching the ferris wheel seems exciting.
Were they the best in nsw, or was it just a social novice day??(serious question)
We thought it was funny that there were only two divisions, masters and seniors.
We were trying to work out the difference in the two divisions and could only conclude that seniors still had their own teeth and were under 100kgs. LOL
How did you go in the masters??
