An unusual incident occurred in Kansas yesterday when a light aircraft landed on a highway • Reason for the emergency landing: One of the engines stopped working • "He might have crashed into vehicles"
Scary: Engine failure caused a light aircraft pilot in Kansas in the United States to land an emergency landing between vehicles on a highway. The emergency landing seen in the video occurred yesterday near an airport. The pilot who failed to land the plane at the airport had to do so with great skill among passenger vehicles who were surprised to discover a yellow guest landing from the sky.
After landing, the plane continued on a relatively long ride alongside the stunned vehicle drivers who documented the unusual incident. This is a rare case that fortunately ended with no casualties, but could easily end in disaster if one of the passenger vehicles would not notice the plane and would crash into it while traveling.
Local police chief Mark Johnson referred to the highway landing, "It was a perfect landing." The pilot was reportedly scheduled to land at the nearby airport and was already lowering towards the landing, but engine failure caused him to veer off the road and land on the highway. The case is under investigation.
A few weeks ago, a similar case occurred in Canada during which a light aircraft landed between highway passenger cars. Even in the former case, the pilot managed to land the plane between passenger vehicles and even then there were no casualties in the incident. Despite the short time differences between cases - these are very rare events.
