Dramatic new video has captured the moment a small plane parachutes to safety in the United States, after the jets engine failed

The plane is seen dropping from the sky, coming to rest just metres away from a building in Long Island.

A father and daughter incredibly walked away from the crash, after deploying the parachute in the nick of time.

It still hit pretty hard, even with a parachute !

Well, my guess is that if the pilot tried starting the propellor engine instead of the jet pack, he might have flown it to the nearest airport!
