Plane flips as it lands in South Carolina yard

Dramatic video shows the moment a small plane crash landed in someone's yard and flipped over.

The Brief

    • A pilot narrowly avoided disaster when he flipped a plane over as it landed in a South Carolina yard. 
    • Miraculously, he walked away with only a few scratches and bruises. 

A small plane flipped over in a South Carolina yard Sunday as the pilot made a rough landing and tried to avoid further damage. 

Home security footage from Vicki Coker shows the dramatic moment the plane crash-landed on her property in Pelzer, Anderson County, on Sunday morning, and ended up upside down on the road outside.

The pilot Harold Chapman miraculously walked away with only a few scratches and bruises, according to local reports.

What they're saying:

Chapman told WYFF he was trying to land the plane on a grassy strip but came in too fast. He said a bump in the road caused the plane to go airborne, so he decided to flip the plane in order to avoid further damage.
