This is a video of the deHavilland beaver plane crash at Lake Hood in Anchorage AK, on June 7, 2009. My father and I were videotaping planes at Lake Hood taking off and landing when the wind kicked up and sent the Beaver taking off right at us. The wing was less than 5 feet over our heads, and the radial engine was less than 8 feet to my left. No exaggeration!! The Slow motion at the end gives a little better look at how close it was. Everyone onboard was in pristine condition, 2 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs For those wondering what camcorder I use it is a Canon VIXIA HF20

I know a a pilot who flys this plane and have recently flown in it. It requires almost full right rudder during take off. He left himself no out...

@yoyomasta47 Yes it was animated lol. However it wasn't CGI. You'll find almost everything in the universe is animated or else we wouldn't be moving would we?

Really stupid pilot. Always make sure you are aligned with the river before applying full throttle or else you pick up too much speed to early to make a sharp turn. Here it looked as if he lacked power. Nosing up is just gonna slow it down even more. lol

@GREGWERNE Even if that's the case, pilot should've realized something was way wrong and cut the engine immediately.

Holy shit man, I'm glad everyone was safe! I also hope that pilot was grounded, drug tested, and put back in the copilots seat of a 152.
