Watch: Quick thinking pilot deploys airplane parachute saving lives

A quick-thinking pilot saved many lives near Bruges in Belgium after he deployed the small plane’s parachute.

The plane, which got into trouble, was headed towards a densely populated area when the pilot ejected but before doing so deployed the plane’s emergency parachute. That resulted in the plane making a soft landing on a sidewalk.
