Lucca: precipitates glider, two deaths. The pilot was stunt champion.

Two people, Leonardo Ambrogetti and Stephen Woods, died falling with a glider in Tassignano, close to the airport of Capannori (Lucca). The accident occurred at 12. The witnesses have seen that during the flight the glider lost a wing. On the aircraft there were two people, instructor and student. For them there was nothing to do. The glider crashed after an ascent manoeuvre, probably due to a structural failure. A wing was removed and the aircraft is immediately dropped. According to the testimonies of the inhabitants of the area, one of the two, in a desperate attempt to save himself, he attempted to jump with a parachute: unfortunately-or a malfunction of the device or because now too close to the ground-the emergency system was deployed. Leonardo Ambrogetti, 55, of Florence, the pilot, had to his credit many flying hours and had begun to do acrobatics with the glider in 1993. In 2006 and 2007, as he himself said in an interview on Youtube, had won two Italian Championships in glider aerobatics absolute and had participated in the European and World Championships. «The glider I approached because in my opinion is way closer to nature to fly-explained in the interview. " There is no engine, no nothing. Is a very exciting flight. The acrobatics are there arrived by chance because during the winter did not want to sit still, I started, went well and I started making the races. " He was a member of the Aeroclub Ambrogetti Aerial del Mugello but, according to reports from other members of flying club, was not there as a trainer. The plane crashed in a field between the houses of via the airport. On site alerted by inhabitants of the area and some people who were participating in a dog race in close groups, immediately got the rescuers of 118 and the police but to the two there was nothing left to do.
