People look at an ultra-light Cheetah S200 airplane stuck in a Ferris wheel after it crashed into the fairground attraction following takeoff from a nearby airstrip in Taree, New South Wales, on October 1, 2011. The plane left dangling from the structure trapped its pilot and passenger inside. Two children, a boy and a girl, who were on the ride at the time of the accident were rescued unharmed, police said.
