About this video

This Cessna 207 crash occurred in July 2003, in Anchorage. The pilot incorrectly positioned the fuel tank selector valve to a nearly empty tank, which resulted in a loss of engine power due to fuel starvation, and subsequent emergency landing at an off-airport site (on a baseball field).
During touchdown, the airplane collided with objects and cart wheeled to the left. Injury: 1 Serious, 1 Minor, 2 Uninjured.
