I love the air accidents picture right below the article on the website showing basically someone else failing at it.

WOW. This one means more to any pilot than most other people though. It goes to show just how little time you have in the air if something goes wrong. This one seemed like a fuel problem or maybe overheating (guessing). Having rebuilt and flown a small plane myself, watching this vividly brings back memories of the HUGE amount of stress involved in taking self responsibility for a machine that MUST NOT FAIL OR YOU DIE. These guys were very very lucky to have this outcome. If they hadn`t been able to restart the engine for just that one bit, they wouldn`t have made it onto that nice wide road, and would have been in a big mess. There`s just so little margin.

Would`ve been funnier if they pulled at a fast food drive-through.

Ever wondered if all those years playing flight simulator would be any good if the pilot of the plain suddenly unmaterializes?

Pilot to passenger - "Thank you for flying with Imabadass Airlines, have a nice day."

Damn they were calm.
I`d be freaking the fuck out. I would have tried to land in the lake, and probably died.

They are lucky noone was on the rode *AND* the engine didn`t die completely because if it did they would`ve had to land horizontally into the rode...that would`ve been a better video.. damn!

Perfect landing. Even had a parking lot for the plane to stop at.

Yeah I like the part where he pulled it into a parking lot at the end.

I thought that was pretty classy.
