An airplane pilot had to land in the middle of a busy highway about 20 kilometers from Quebec, Canada


"Is he landing there?" », Is surprised by a motorist. In front of him is a small white plane that is losing altitude and seems to be starting a landing maneuver. Except that the track of the day is a highway and that it is far from empty.

The scene takes place about twenty kilometers from Quebec City, Canada. The pilot of the small craft managed to slip through the cars in a few seconds and land the aircraft without causing any damage.

Questioned shortly after by Radio-Canada, the man in charge of the plane tells the reverse of this surreal sequence. As he begins a leisure ride, his plane is the victim of a technical breakdown: "My engine made strange noises ... I was losing power ... As I went on I said to myself, my chances were to less than 50% that I go to the airport ”.

He failed to maintain his altitude and, in agreement with the control tower, he began a descent directly on the highway located just below.

"Apart from the fact that there are cars, a highway is a very nice landing strip," he rejoiced after a great fright.
