Pilot films himself lying in the mud after surviving two aircraft crashes
A pilot survived two aircraft crashes when his gyrocopter fell out of the sky and then the police rescue helicopter crash landed.
Jeff Wright, filming himself lying in the mud after the second crash, said 'I don't want to go in another helicopter!'.
He posted two Facebook videos following the October 3 accidents and explained what happened after his gyrocopter engine failed and crashed near Bowling Green.
The pilot was then picked up by a police helicopter - but that too crash landed.
One video showed him and Polk County Sheriff's Deputy Lavon Hughes just moments after the second crash as a result of a failed rescue operation.
