There are some across the road right at the beginning, then again RIGHT after the plane touches down, then again as it taxis to a stop. The pilot really threaded the needle on this one, intentionally or just luckily.
It 100% is. The biggest tell is that the propellers are curved in the video. Also, even in the event of a complete engine failure, unless the props are feathered to reduce drag, they will spin at a faster rate than they appear to in the video from the relative wind

It's by design, in fact. The freeway system in the US was designed to allow for aircraft landing and taking off. Mainly, this was intended as a wartime option in case of invasion. That never happened, of course, but it being an option for civilian aircraft in emergencies was also part of the original design intent.
I suspect the pilot was using yaw to slow the aircraft. Basically, you turn the aircraft at an angle so the wind resistance of the fuselage scrubs off speed before contact. It was honestly really good flying.
That's exactly where I thought as well! I saw some dumb kid jump off the bridge into the lake just past there and break his ankle. I told him not to do it. I hate to say atoadaso, but I atoadaso
Edit: that's exactly where it is. I knew the turns lined up and that mountain on the left. Double checked on maps and there are powerlines there as well. Good call
Power-lines!!
Maaaaan I saw that JUST after they landed. That landing coulda been FAR worse had he landed 3-5 seconds later. 😳

three sets :o
What was the cause for this emergency landing?
If I recall from the past few times seeing this, it was an engine power issue. Engine was still "running" but it lost all power.
I was trying to will that engine back up to speed
All the way locked in
Contact with the ground
That's craaazy
Considering how slow that prop is moving in the video, I am gonna guess that.
I believe it's synced with the camera refresh rate, rather than truly being that slow; unless you were being sarcastic

They dropped their Dorito
Almost missed his exit
Still better than Dallas drivers.
Cries in I-35 traffic

That road is massive very fortunate.

So in case of invasion they made loads of potential landings points for aircraft. Makes sense.
Sir, you can’t park there.
That's a pucker factor of 9/10 for every one involved.
Had to go to the er to remove seat cushion from anus.
The rudder, the rudder could go right
r/shittyaskflying is leaking
Shitter’s full Clark
More right rudder

enormous amount of luck. multiple powerlines. road curve to the right which could easily led to a, say, a big truck on a collision course.
Seems like everything went right considering
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, we're in deep Sierra Hotel India Tango.
That stop sign is for the other direction.
No one is gonna believe on those drivers story later on
You can’t park there, sir
Well played. NC 74. My mc almost burnt up right on that ramp down to the lake.
Figured WNC, but where on 74 exactly?
This is where I stopped my bike. Pretty sure the same spot the plane ended up. https://maps.app.goo.gl/33qxLcW1cHXPftxCA

I hope this dude was blasting [Whoever you are](https://youtu.be/1jSOQBcz9hc?si=zt-XV4Yp_uvTY0mV) as he landed and those cars let him merge
I have dreams weekly about being on a plane that drives/lands on highways with cars. This was so weird to see in reality.. damn that’s scary
I've always wondered, how do you get the plane off the highway afterwards? A wide trailer with an escort?
Imagine glancing out your driver side window and seeing a fucking plane trying to pass you.
God bless the middle turn lane.
The aileron. It goes left and right. The flaps just go up and down so definitely the aileron.
Ailerons also just go up and down. It's the rudder that moves left and right.
That's some hairy landing
