Shocking video shows a small plane crashing nose-first into a field in rural Argentina — with the pilot somehow pulled out alive.
The crop-spraying aircraft was filmed gliding in the air for a few seconds Thursday before it smashed into a field in Perdices, according to local outlet La Gaceta.
The viral video shows the plane then falling apart as it slides across the ground.
Volunteer firefighters raced from Ceibas, about 22 miles away, and somehow found the pilot alive.
He was rushed to the Hospital Centenario in Gualeguaychú, officials told the outlet, although his condition was not immediately known.
The pilot, who lives in Avellaneda in Greater Buenos Aires, was the only person injured.
The crash appeared to be a mechanical fault, but remains under investigation, the outlet said.
