plane crashed on takeoff attempt after emergency landing

How long was it after the landing that he attempted to take off?
Traumatic experiences, like an emergency landing, tend to screw up
people's ability to think for a period afterward.

The emergency landing was on Wednesday, and the attempted takeoff was
Thursday afternoon.

One less excuse then. FWIW, in Canada:

The Ontario Highway Traffic Act says:

When an aircraft has landed on a highway because of an emergency related to
the
operation of the aircraft, the aircraft may take off from the highway
provided,

(a) a commercial licensed pilot, not being the owner of the aircraft, who is
qualified to fly that class and category of aircraft, and the pilot in
command
of the aircraft are both satisfied that the aircraft is airworthy and that
there are no physical obstructions on or over the highway which would make
such
take-off unsafe;

(b) the pilot in command of the aircraft is satisfied that weather
conditions
are satisfactory for the purpose and that the minimum requirements are met
under the visual flight rules established by the regulations made under the
Aeronautics Act (Canada) or, if the flight is to be continued under
instrument
flight rules, that adequate arrangements can be made for obtaining a
clearance
from an air traffic control unit prior to entering instrument flight weather
conditions;

(c) traffic control is provided by the appropriate police force;

(d) the police force consents to the take-off.

Similar rules there? Another pilot might have been helpful.

One competent pilot would have been sufficient.

holy smokes, this guy is deep in the hole now.

i doubt insurance will cover any of the damage. totalled airplane,
damage to the truck, damage to the fire engine, and towing.


Why? If the guy has insurance, he's covered. Same as if you wreck your
(insured) car while driving drunk, without a license, doing the nasty with
under-age prostitutes, taking pot shots out the window with your illegal
machine gun, and transporting a trunk full of mary-jane..

You'd have a heck of a time getting the *next* policy underwritten, but
your current policy is in effect...

Nope Car insurance is different. He was covered on the landing because it
was an emergency, but he wasnt covered on the take off unless he had
insurance for off airport take off and landings. He should of let the toe
truck take it.
If your drunk and crash your not covered. Ask your agent.

It is the odd and rare policy that would list off airport operations as
not covered for an aircraft such as a 210.
