Oooops. Looks like he way going to take off and changed his mind.

Ouch! Hope the pilot and any passengers are okay. Holy cow!

Thank the Lord they are alright. That would be an absolutely terrifying experience.

"merely an 'incident'" heh? They're two lucky guys to walk away from that one and the plane with so little damage.

I wonder why the pilot didn't just take off again as soon as he realized the "snow" was ice crusted and he wasn't slowing down. Is there a taller peak on the left of the chasm that would make that impossible? One year as a licensed pilot and he should know how to do touch and go landings/take offs.
