The aircraft went down in Foley, Alabama, hitting several trees before it went up in flames.

That's when the pilot and only person on board, Russell Smith, "busted out of the airplane," according to Foley Municipal Airport Lineman Corey Kirkwood.

He told ABC news: "All hell was breaking loose," Smith said. "It happened so quick I didn't have time to think."

Miraculously, Smith walked away with only minor injuries to his hands. He didn't even go to the hospital.

Kirkwood told ABC News that the plane "took an insane amount of time to take off," adding that the aircraft barely cleared the fence and clipped the tree line past the end of the runway where it went down.
