Barenaked Ladies' Singer Walks from Plane Crash

Posted Aug 24th 2008 11:45PM by TMZ Staff

Ed RobertsonBarenaked Ladies' frontman -- not the one just busted for drugs -- Ed Robertson survived a plane crash early this morning north of Bancroft, Ontario by the skin of his barenaked butt.

Sgt. Jeff Mackinnon of the Bancroft OPP told the Intelligencer, "At 12:30 PM a Cessna 206 was taking off from Baptiste Lake, lost airspeed and entered a wooded area west of the lake." Mackinnon said all four passengers, including Ed, walked out of the woods and then reported the crash.

The Intelligencer's sources say Ed was piloting his own float-plane -- the kind with pontoons -- but police won't release any details because an investigation by Canada's Transportation Safety Board is underway.

7. ..all I know is this man followed his training and experience when u run into emergency situations...he obviously used expert skill and had enough control over the plane to glide it onto the treetops...that is where the plane came to rest...the fact that it didn't explode and he didn't have chance to land on open field which would have been awfull with a float plane...god gave him a signal and a huge stroke of luck! take advantage of it Ed!!!!!!! nice to hear a happy ending for a change!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10. I just walked by a mirror, and realized I have almost no chance of ever attracting a man. Also, good luck to the crash survivor.
