Dramatic seconds in the port of Hamburg: the pilot has to make an emergency landing in the middle of the port.

The fire brigade was in action with a large contingent.

Hamburg – Two men with their small plane were lucky in misfortune on Saturday, July 30th, 2022.

For reasons that have not yet been clarified, there was an incident on the aircraft.

An emergency landing at Hamburg Airport did not seem possible.

The young pilot decided to land the small propeller plane (motor glider) in the middle of the port of Hamburg, reports 24hamburg.de.

The two occupants found a suitable area to land in Hamburg-Steinwerder.

The plane went down more or less safely on a sandy area and the two young men got away with a fright.

Only the propeller was damaged during the emergency landing.

The reason for the emergency landing is not yet officially known.

However, 24hamburg.de has information that indicates a failure of the pilot.

Apparently, he had simply not refueled enough when he took off from Uetersen (Pinneberg district).

Here the plane still flies over Hamburg.

The young pilot finally ran out of fuel over the port of Hamburg.

He had to make an emergency landing.

It is still unclear whether an empty tank was really the reason for the emergency landing.

The motor sailer is expected to remain in Steinwerder port overnight.

A salvage company is to transport the plane away on Sunday.

Luckily no one was injured in the crash landing.
