Plane Crash Lands in NJ Rockaway Mall

Thank God no one was injured neither on the plane nor on the Rockaway mall parking lot. Recently the public has heard too many news stories about plane crashes ranging from Iran, Europe and USA. Has the recent global recession put the flight safety on the back seat?

Daily News reports on a Rockaway mall plane crash landing.

"The pilot and a female passenger crawled out of the single-engine Cessna after it made an emergency landing outside the Rockaway Townsquare Mall, authorities told the Daily Record. They were taken to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

"The 30-year-old plane reportedly was heading to Essex County Airport when it encountered engine problems and was forced to land. On its way down, the aircraft struck several trees before skidding into an open swath of the mall's parking lot, the paper reported."

According to Simon Malls web insormation "Rockaway Townsquare, a super regional shopping center, is anchored by Macy's, Lord & Taylor, JC Penney, and Sears. With more than 180 specialty stores including Aeropostale, Apple, bebe, Guess?, Ann Taylor,Brookstone, Cache, Coach, Eddie Bauer, Gap, and Godiva Chocolatier you're sure to find everything you're looking for."
