A one-person glider crashed into the roof of a Connecticut home Tuesday evening — but miraculously no one was seriously hurt.
Officials said a pilot flying a small glider lost power just four miles from the airport, and crashed into a home on Golden Hill Avenue in Danbury.
The aircraft went straight into the attic of the home, and its crumpled tail end could be seen jutting out from the house’s roof.
A mother and her two children were at the home at the time of the crash, and were right underneath the area where the plane entered but weren’t sure what the loud noise was until they heard the pilot’s footsteps upstairs.
