CESSNA 182 GOES DOWN IN FLAMES AND ALL SURVIVE

Early this weekend we had in Phoenix what could have been a disaster. A Cessna 182 jump plane, with 4 parachutist aboard, caught fire on the left wing just after the jumpers had proceeded with their exit from the airplane. The airplane was 2 miles from the Chandler airport but had no hope of getting back to the airport. The pilot was able to bail out just before the plane was engulfed in flames with only minor burns. 
The plane crashed into a house in the early morning and the two occupants were able to escape with their dogs. The house was enveloped in flames and destroyed.

Google "Gilbert Plane Crash" and there are several videos available that show the story.
