Another successful Cirrus parachute pull has been captured on video, this time when a father and daughter floated to safety after a loss of engine power over Long Island on Saturday afternoon. The pair climbed out of the SR22 and walked away unharmed after touching down in a grassy area in an industrial park in Hauppauge, about 8 miles from their intended destination, Farmingdale’s Republic Airport.
Video surveillance footage of the incident shows the Cirrus descend rapidly to the ground before its tail lifts up and the airplane comes to rest upright in front of a one-story office building. Before the billowing orange-and-white parachute has even fully reached the ground, the father and daughter can be seen clambering from the airplane and moving swiftly away from the wreckage.
