BERLIN (Reuters) - A German pilot and driver escaped unhurt when a one-seater plane landed on top of a speeding car at a little-used airport, police in the western town of Bitburg said Wednesday.

"It was a miracle that no one was hurt. There was considerable damage done to the plane and the car," said Klaus Schnarrbach, spokesman for the Bitburg police.

The driver was racing at 160 kph (100 mph) with 11 other members of a local Porsche club at the airport, a former U.S. air base, when the single-engine plane accidentally landed on his roof. The shocked driver slammed on the brakes, sending the plane crashing to the ground.

"The airplane managed to stay steady on the roof at first," said Schnarrbach, adding the pilot faced possible charges of negligence. "They probably couldn't have done it that well if they had tried," he said.

Wow. When I was in flight school I saw a Cessna land on a flat bed pick-up truck but it was a planed stunt.

If I was the owner of the car, I would have rip that pilot to pieces!

Ugh, are you forgetting silly that, that car was carrying 11 passengers in a airport landing going 100 mph. Who was in the wrong here??? Grant ya the plane should had known better, but unless the pilot was drunk and wanted his liscence tooken then it would had been a good explanation. But hey the stupid idiots in the porsche shouldn't had been there, right??

is he really a licensed pilot ?

1) There wasn't 11 passangers, there were 11 other people from the porche club racing. and obviously they had permission to be there. it's only the pilots fault that he didn't see it going on.
