A single engine Cessna crashed today into a busy street in Yao, Japan which is outside Osaka. To me it looks like a Cessna 210 Centurion, which has a pretty outstanding safety record.
Some news agencies are reporting no injuries and some others are reporting the two passengers suffered only minor injuries (which I find to be more believable). No one on the ground was injured. Apparently fuel was leaking from the aircraft, which may have led to the accident occurring. The aircraft had just departed from Yao and was returning due to engine trouble. Sounds like it was luck that no one on the ground was injured as the intersection was a very busy one with several buildings around it as well. As you can see below, the aircraft suffered extensive damage, losing a wing and its gear along with severing its empenage (tail section).

Honestly surprised that both of the passengers walked away from the crash.
Are there any flying schools in japan?
