Small aircraft crashed on railway in Sweden
A Piper PA 32, doing an emergency landing on a small airfield (grass) in northern Sweden, continued when the strip ended, and crashed on the railway line between Piteå and Älvsbyn. All trains (only freight on this line) have been halted during the investigation.

Looks like that plane was pretty crumpled up, they were lucky to survive. The engine has been ripped out of it's mounting and is laying behind the aircraft. Also lucky a train wasn't coming!
