Tossed Bridal Bouquet Causes Plane Crash

ultralight
What started as a romantic idea, tossing a wedding bouquet from a small airplane, nearly ended in tragedy when it caused an ultralight aircraft to crash in the Italian countryside.

The ultralight crashed as a result of a poorly thrown bouquet, which hit the rear rotor and jammed the engine, bringing the flight to an abrupt halt near a youth hostel in Tuscany.

The pilot suffered light injuries, while the passenger suffered several broken bones. It is understood that neither the bride nor the groom were aboard the aircraft.

    It would have been better if the couple were in the plane so that the bride can get to toss her own bouquet. Not that I would have wanted them to be in the crash and get injured like those two poor folks who actually did. I just think it’s a better idea. 🙂
