Plane Crash in East Windsor

According to courant.com, on Friday morning, two people were rescued by firefighters after crashing their 1935 Tiger Moth biplane into the trees. "They were flying to Block Island from Skylark Airpark, which lies in East Windsor." courant.com said. They crashed 300 yards away from the Skylark Airpark runway into a tree, which was surrounded by marshy land. "They were rescued at 12:35 pm by the Enfield Fire Department." according to courant.com. The Coast Guard were going to help by using a helicopter but the Enfield Fire Department were able to quickly respond to the emergency and were able to save the two people in the airplane. The reason for the crash was that the plane lost power and the pilot did know what to do. Bradley International Airport sent a rescue truck to help the people but the vehicle got stuck in mud and had to get to the crash site by smaller vehicles. The fire department were able to get the people down with ropes, pulleys, and a rescue basket.
