It's always unsettling to me when things like this make the 6 o'clock news!  I suppose as the young fellow said, "it's not every day you see a plane land in a backyard", and maybe that makes it unique. 

Unfortunate.

"At one point they landed in this field over here. They touched down, it looked like the landing was going to go decent, then they came across a pretty big ditch and that kinda mangled up the plane," said Missouri State Highway Patrol, Corporal Seth Isringhausen.

The plane is registered to a man who lives in Ozark. It's not known if he was the pilot but troopers say whoever was flying really knew what he was doing.

"I think the pilot probably did a pretty good job to land the way they did. It could've been a lot worse. The fact that they were transported with minor injuries is pretty amazing," Corporal Seth Isringhausen stated

Personally I think this sums it up pretty well now lets just hope it wasnt a fuel starvation issue from bad planning
