I'd say he's going to need at least a couple of new engine mounts.


And some touch-up paint. :-O

Another source says the engine quit on takeoff:

"The Transportation Safety Board is investigating the cause of a
plane crash near the Brantford Airport in which a pilot was
lucky to walk away with only minor injuries.

"TSB investigators completed Tuesday their inspection of the
crash scene in a corn field just off a runway at the airport,
where a twin-engine Piper Aztec crashed at about 5 p. m.
the evening before, then turned to other parts of the investigation.

"The plane, flown by an unidentifi ed 50-year-old male pilot,
had just left the runway when one engine seized for an
unknown reason. The aircraft struck a pine tree, then
crashed in a cornfield at the western border of the
airport territory."
