Happy Thanksgiving, y’all!
On Sunday, October 14, 2018 a Cessna 172K Skyhawk, tail number N996SB, experienced a hard landing and subsequent fire at Gwinnett County Airport-Briscoe Field (KLZU), Lawrenceville, Georgia.
Onboard the aircraft were a flight instructor and his student, both of whom walked away without a scratch.
According to FAA preliminary data the 172 flew out of Peachtree-DeKalb Airport and was performing a touch-and-go at Briscoe Field when it “experienced a nose dive and hard landing as it took off from Runway 7.”
This video provides a comprehensive overview of Gwinnett County Police Department’s response to the incident.

Lizard he said there's nobody in the plane we wouldn't be staying in here if that was the case but on a side note I'm really glad everybody was okay
Did he at least get to eat his big mac
This airport is 5 miles away from me…. Thank the Lord everyone got out safe!
My home.
Omg I flew like 20 hours in that plane, that was my favorite one skybound had. 😠Now these turds done messed it up
maybe the cop should report it in so everyone else knows that the pilot is safe!
I actually fly out of Gwinnett county for my flight training. I've heard that this was only the student's 3rd or 4th flight period. Honestly the instructor was not paying enough attention to the speeds and the landing training was begun too soon. The plane stalled on approach and the pilots couldn't recover in time. Hopefully the student doesn't give up.
Nothing to see here, just allot of babbling….
"My big mac's gettin cold" public safety at it's hungriest My people
“We wouldn’t be standing here if that were the case†lol I like that cop.
Pilot says 8 gallons of fuel and cop reports 16. 🤦â€â™‚ï¸ðŸ¤¦â€â™‚ï¸
Pilot seems unconcerned doesn't even look at cop or paramedic! Strange attitude but cop seems cool. That's really good considering it's Gwinnett county Police!! They like to yell alot! Maybe they need more Big Mac on duty!!! Ha Ha Ha Glad everyone is okay…wonder if pilot was texting while flying? Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!ðŸ‘ðŸ»ðŸ‘ðŸ»ðŸ‘ðŸ»ðŸ˜‡
it was plane to see it was toast
Wow, they were lucky. I live about 5 miles from there and heard there was a crash but didn't hear the outcome. Thanks for posting. Oh, and sorry about your Big Mac, officer. If I ever see you out I'll get you a fresh one!
The flight instructor and the student where the first ones to the scene of the accident.
Not a cold Bigmac!!! Drats…..
Happy Thanksgiving, friends!
“I was in the middle of eating my Big Mac, I’m gonna have a cold Big Mac in the car.
Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.
