(Reuters) – Los Angeles police pulled the pilot out of a Cessna-crash-landed Cessna just seconds before it was struck by a train Sunday. The debris flew in every direction.

Local media reported that Reuters captured dramatic footage of several police officers rescuing the man from the plane. It had just taken off shortly before it went down in Pacoima. Just a few feet away, the pilot and officers are struck by a passing train that destroys their plane.

Luis Jimenez (21-year-old composer of music) said that the plane crashed during takeoff, and it landed on tracks near a busy intersection. Just seconds prior to impact, police saved the pilot and an object almost struck me.

According to local media, the pilot received treatment for minor cuts and bruises. He is now in stable condition. According to local media, no one aboard the train sustained injuries.

Video footage posted on Twitter (NYSE:) https://twitter.com/LAPDHQ/status/1480363436311670784 by the Los Angeles Police Department showed bodycam footage of officers pulling the bleeding pilot from the plane.

In a tweet, the department praised its officers and said that they had shown “heroism” by saving the life a pilot in an emergency landing on railroad tracks.
