Glider plane crashes into house in Jharkhand's Dhanbad, pilot and child injured

A pilot and a child sustained grave injuries after a glider aircraft crashed into the wall of a house in Jharhand's Dhanbad. The accident occurred due to a technical failure and it was captured on a camera lens. The incident took place in a residential colony and the plane, with a pilot and a child on board, had taken off for an aerial tour of Koyalanchal from the skies of Dhanbad.

The pilot and the child aboard the glider were seriously injured and rushed to a nearby hospital with the help of locals. Their condition is critical.

The glider plane took off from Barwadda airstrip and the glider was above the



city before it plunged to ground level due to a technical glitch. The plane went uncontrolled and fell at the property of Nilesh Kumar, near Birsa Munda Park.

"Information was received at the police station that a glider crash had happened near Birsa Munda. Police teams have reached the spot and are stationed there. Two people were injured. And we're further checking," ASI SK Mandal of Barwada Police Station said.

The members of the family whose house walls were damaged said they were outside the house when the plane crashed and "fell on the roof".

"My children are in shock," they shared.
