Elderly pilot ‘was lucky to survive accident’
An official report into the accident claims that it was “highly fortuitous” that there were no fatalities after the two-seater plane hit 10,000-volt electricity cables just nine metres above the ground near Quigley’s Point, Co Donegal.
It blamed poor judgement on the pilot’s part as a significant factor in the cause of the accident as there was no evidence of technical malfunction or poor weather conditions.
