Or at least it looked that way....

During the first weekend of March, several witnesses reported the crash of a large plane with 4 engines in Beverwijk Holland.

The emergency services immediately responded by sending out half a dozen of ambulances, a medical chopper, firebrigades an the police. The firebrigades arrived first and did find a 747 in the sanddunes... But it was a 4 m detailed model!

Luckely no-one was harmed in the crash, but the model was impounded by the police, and the owners of the model were taken to the police-station for questioning... I guess the bill will follow!

In Dutch, but the photo's speak for themselves!

LOL!!!
Nice one!!

DUDE, DO NOT PULL ONE LIKE THAT AGAIN.. MY DAD WAS FLYING AIR FRANCE TODAY!!

I had a similar expirience
When i was flying home from Turkey, my relatives was really worried, because the plane i was on, declared a emergency landing (a hydralic faliure, nothing special there..) and they thought we was gonna bellyland in a inferno of fire and stuff (the only thing they know about aircrafts, is that they usually have wings and a engine..)
but we landed safely, a bit faster though, but safe.

and in the terminal they was like "You survived!"

Actually , in those photos the airplane show no damage, so it didn't crash. Looks like they were trying to put it together and the police stopped them lol. *I fly RC models.*

The phrase..."Spoil-sports!" springs to mind... ...!

I tried the Dutch to English translation, but it didn't work very well...mostly "Double-Dutch"... ...!

Paul... ...!

Sorry Ecko... how was I supposed to know...  :-[

The plane was a glider of some sort ( interview with the owner). It's mostly made out of polystyrene ( we call it isomo - don't know the english word), so the damage would have been minimal...
