Cessna 205 catastrophic engine failure while flying on an IFR flight plan from S36 (Seattle, WA) to KMYV (Sacramento, CA) Cruising at 9,000 feet. IO-470-S engine suddenly vibrated and then immediately exploded, stopping the propeller instantly. Glide and divert to KHIO (Hillsboro, OR) captured on a GoPro Hero. ATC audio partially from LiveATC.net. No word yet on cause of failure, photos at the end of the video show the damage.
Video starts 1:20 after initial exchange with ATC. Thanks to Portland Departure for the help and coordination.

Whoa ??
How can a plane be suspended in the air for that long and not drop from the sky? Amazing.

The engine looks like it just needs a little JB Weld

That was really well done!!!

That’s a solid 9 on the butthole pucker factor scale

Wait, I thought planes were idiot proof and didn’t need pilots…

Altitude gives options....but that dude nailed it.

Those over-the-cabin wing craft are damn stable and can glide a long way

Very poignant when the tower asks "How many souls on board?"

Great stuff, thanks for posting.

Writing for USA Today in 2013, veteran pilot John Cox stated that a jetliner could probably be expected to glide for around 100 miles (161 kilometers) if all its engines failed 30,000 feet (9,144 meters) above ground level. That's about the distance between Los Angeles and Palm Springs or New York City and Atlantic City. In other words, not very far.

I got sweaty palms just watching that.

Impressive for sure. He almost didn't to the runway, but well done.

There was a thread a few days ago asking if pilots are needed

Almost hard to breathe watching that at the landing. Sigh.
How many cracks were in the engine block, total?
