It was a calm afternoon in Long Beach, California, when a deaf woman took her dog for a walk across the wide green soccer fields of Heartwell Park, until everything changed. A small plane came down from the sky, and the woman became the unluckiest person on the field.
At around 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 21, a usual afternoon at Heartwell Park, near Carson Street and Clark Avenue, turned into something out of a disaster film. 40-year-old Tiffany Harrison was walking her dog in the park when a small aircraft crashed and landed on the soccer field, striking her mid-walk before anyone could warn her.
