Malibu turned glider, greases into Aspen

I meant to post this last week.

A Piper Malibu Mirage made an emergency landing into Aspen/Pitkin County Airport last week without a propeller. On about a 8 mile final into the airport, his prop sheared off the crankshaft. The pilot was unaware this happened because his windscreen had been covered in oil from the engine. Pretty dramatic pictures. He's quite lucky.
