This will likely mean absolutely nothing to many of our younger
readers but… look, it’s
the cul-de-sac from Knots Landing!

For any of you young enough to have never heard of this show; http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078638/ Knots Landing was a
popular night time soap opera that began in 1979, and ran all the
way until 1993. Weirdly though, in nearly 30 years the cul-de-sac
doesn’t seem to have changed much at all!

Nestled within the trees of this suburban park is a
crashed plane, that’s been there since
1985!
The story goes that the pilot ran out of fuel over the city of
Sao Jose dos Campos and was forced to land in the small park. Then,
for some unknown reason, the Embraer EMB 120 Brasilia was never
removed.
Embraer’s headquarters are actually located just down the road
from the crash site, but it’s not a very good advertisement for
their products…

Updated: It would seem that this plane didn’t
crash after all, it is a prototype model of the Embraer 110
Bandeirante on permanent display. You can see ground-level pictures
