Topchian said the Turboprop skimmed over a hill and nearly collided with a white van before almost taking out his Tesla with its wing.
“As it kept coming coming coming, I was like that plane is about to hit me,” he said. “It was only a couple seconds I saw it, so it wasn’t much time to sit there and think like that’s a, you know it was just a bam, bam, bam, bam, get out of there.”
Topchian said the plane took down “powerlines or something” and said there “was a lot of fire everywhere” in the aftermath of the crash landing.
“I thought the plane had blown up, and I called my mom, like, ‘Hey, I don’t know what’s going on,” he added.
The Oklahoma City Fire Department responded to the crash and said the two military pilots onboard were miraculously uninjured.
“As soon as we arrived on scene, it was refreshing to see the two pilots on board tell us that everybody was OK,” said Oklahoma City Fire Department spokesman Scott Douglas via KOCO News 5.
A crew member said the plane’s engine failed midair, which sent them into a descent that ripped through power lines, resulting in a loss of power in the area, as well as a grass fire and traffic signs being lodged by the plane’s wing.
