This is the shocking moment a pilot and two passengers, including a child, survived a jet crash in Mexico.
Mexican news outlets reported that Jesus Flores had taken off from the Sinaloa municipality of Guasave and was heading to the city of Badiraguato before he was forced to land the Cessna on Sunday afternoon.
The 27-year-old Flores was flying the twin-engine aircraft, which had a Virgin Mary statue affixed to one of its wings, low over the Las Torres neighborhood when he unknowingly made contact with a power line near a home.

The electrical wire got wrapped around one of the tires, which forced Flores to attempt an emergency landing.
A bystander in Guamúchil recorded Flores descending the small aircraft over a residential neighborhood before it disappeared as it approached a farm.
A camera inside the cockpit showed a composed Flores steering the airplane before he crash landed the plane on a farm field.
Fortunately, Flores and the two other passengers were able to walk out of the aircraft without suffering any injuries.
