"It makes your heart race," said neighbor Sheri Wolf.
Wolf grabbed her daughter by the hand and ran to the scene. It happened around 1:15 p.m. on E. Linden Avenue across from the local fire department.
"You get crazy things that happen, but obviously you don't see too many airplanes try to ditch in a residential area here," said Mike Gallagher.
Local authorities say they do not know where the two men were going, or where they were coming from.
