Moments after a plane made an emergency landing on some train tracks, bystanders and police pulled the injured pilot out of the aircraft.
California police released the dramatic body camera footage of the moment the approaching train crashed into the single-engine plane, breaking it into pieces just seconds after the pilot was pulled to safety.
The pilot was transported to a trauma centre with unspecified injuries.
