Shortly after takeoff, the aircraft experienced engine failure, forcing the pilot to attempt an emergency landing.<\/p>\n<p>The plane crashed outside South Florida State Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>A student pilot and a flight instructor were inside the overturned aircraft. Both were injured but survived, thanks in part to people who rushed to help.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs I was driving South on University, going back home, I see this plane above me and it looked like it was losing altitude,\u201d said Nathan Gansert, the good samaritan who helped.<\/p>\n<p>According to a police report, the flight school company connected to the plane is Blue Sky, which is owned by Schwartz.
