interesting...i wonder if there was an indication of impending failure from the preflight...if ANYTHING seems out of whack with the engine or prop, it's an instant red flag...and interesting that the pilot isn't wearing a shoulder harness. Not safe IMO after having to make an emergency landing myself off-airport. Hot girls though, and very good to see a successful outcome!
