Cameras are ubiquitous, and hikers in the Devil’s Thumb area of Colorado on July 4 nearly captured a plane crash. The hikers posted a video showing an aircraft, possibly a Cessna 152, recovering from an incipient spin just feet from the ground near the top of the Continental Divide. The formation known as Devil’s Thumb is at an elevation of 12,200 feet. It was a warm day even at that altitude, as evidenced by the clothing worn by the hiker. No further details are available.
