There have been a LOT of plane crashes lately...

First, there was that tragic collision between an American Airlines plane and a military-operated Blackhawk - 67 people, on both the plane and helicopter, died.

Then, recently, there was the Delta flight that flipped upside down in Toronto - all passengers lived.

So it is sort of a nerve-racking time for flying. And that was certainly the case last week on Lake Winnipesaukee.

Video of the Plane Crash on Lake Winnipesaukee:

The video is much worse than the result.

In fact, both passangers inside of the Highlander aircraft were not injured.

And all things considered, the pilot had a really nice recovery after the nose touched down.
