"When I was coming down, and I saw those power lines and I saw the cars I almost had an out-of-body or out-of-plane experience," Fraser told Fox News. "I was just trying to observe and take everything in and make adjustments, and just not hit anybody or kill ourselves."

Fraser says the airplane was inspected following the incident and the engine failure was traced to a plugged fuel line in the wing. Once fixed, the plane was deemed safe and Fraser was free to fly it again.
