People at a funfair in the small town of Taree in Eastern Australia had a lucky escape when a light aircraft crashed into a ferris wheel.

The pilot and his passenger were suspended in the plane's wreckage, and two children were trapped on the ride for hours, but eventually everyone was rescued without injury.
