People go to great length to continue Riviera Country ClubBut this method does not come recommended.
Around 1 pm Friday, a small plane made an emergency landing at the prestigious private club at Santa Monica Calif, buzzing low during the course and dancing to stop in a wild scene caught in the mobile video.
According to the Los Angeles Department of Fire, there were no injuries to anyone on the ground or for any three people on the plane, Ktla Channel 5 reported in Los Angeles.
A Riviera representative told Golf.com by phone that the club cannot comment on the issue.
In the video of the incident, which quickly went viral, a man’s voice is heard calling surprise from the course while a telephone camera focuses on the close distance. Moments later, a Cessna with a single motor engine, sitting on the first road of the first road and dancing on the ground, just left from the 2nd green before it is lit in a stop by 10, while the surprised players look.
A single high -level member club and triple host of the main championship, Riviera is known to golf fans as a host Genesis Invitationalannual Tiger Woods-Prophet event that is part of PGA Tour’s Western shore oscillating. This year, Genesis was forced to move to Torrey Pines in San Diego after destroying the wild fires involved in Los Angeles in January. Blazas, which left 30 people dead and reduced their entire neighborhoods in ruins, burned up to the edge of Riviera but did not harm the course.
Few details about emergency reduction were immediately available Friday afternoon, but information on follow -up to the flight posted on Fliffradar24.com Show that a CESSA with the same tail number as the plane in the video was planned to descend at the same time as the incident at the nearby Santa Monica airport.
The incident will be investigated by the National Transport Security Board.
