I was at the airport watching the flames consume this plane. My
student (solo) was waiting to take off #2 on the taxiway. Another
instructor from my school was with his student also waiting in #1
position. They both describe its final approach to be very odd in that
the plane was coming down with a very high angle of attack. They also
say that once the plane slammed to the ground, the landing gears
buckled, the wings shook, and power may have been applied around the
time the left wing struck the ground. It somersaulted into the woods.
If the plane went to the right, it would have hit both my school's
planes. Lucky that planes have a left yawing tendency.

So did they get out and go help the guy? I don't know what the hell you
would do if that happened in front of you, call 911/FBO and shut the plane
down I assume.
