I just caught the last few seconds of a story on the news about a plane landing in a field "next to a school" in Orlando. On the TV it looked like a new 172SP.
I was curious, so I went to the FAA web site, and the only accident they have listed for Orlando today is a Baron landing gear up at executive. Anybody know anything more? Is this just a case of the news hyping danger "deadly aircraft nearly kills an entire cafeteria full of children", or did both accidents happen. I'm sure there is a school next to executive, since its in an urban area, but nobody but the pilot was in danger if all that happened was a plane landed gear up on the runway! The 172 they showed looked undamaged....
