While covering Walk with Jesus, where around 1,200 students along with teachers, staff and parents got together for an outdoor Mass at Corpus Christi Catholic Secondary School parking lot, a small plane flew over and made an emergency landing in an open field behind the school. At first I did not realize that the plane was making an emergency landing, I thought that there is grass airstrip just behind school, but then I saw people running into the field and screaming to call 911, that is when I realize that plane made an emergency landing. I walked to the field and took pictures. No one was injured during landing.
Four escape emergency...
