Car dashcam captures small plane landing on California freeway

A car dashcam video showed a small plane landing on Interstate 580 in San Leandro, California on Saturday night.

It looks like you were going across lanes to grab drivers' attention, then you stopped behind the airplane to protect it. That is 100% fantastic, thank you! All aviators love you!

Why do 20 cop cars always show up on scenes like this??

[markwilliams]

That's why I trust my Cessna more than an airliner.  I can drop it just about anywhere. Great job,  pilot and car drivers!!

The other cars casually drive on, recording on their cell phones up I presume. Still quick good landing by the pilot. Live to fly another day!

Pilot just missed the power lines. Great piloting

The best disposition has almost fallen into disaster

Great job on your part from diverting drivers away from the plane however as you said ppl were being stupid continuing to drive while clearly seeing the plane in distress and if you couldn’t see the plane then you shouldn’t be driving!

If this happened in Utah, everyone would be trying to get in front of him to be first, lol

Peeps be pulling the side of the road like the are going ask the guy do you need a tow??

Intriguing problem. If you are flying alone for pleasure and have an emergency where do you draw the line at putting others at risk to save yourself. You could land on the freeway and risk causing a major accident', or you could take your chances landing in a field and hope you survive. Someone suggested Air Traffic Control may have advised the pilot that this was the best option. But must have been a tough call.

the owner of the honda civic is a gold digger shes trying to get the eye of the pilot women never give up

well, Pilots in America...))) who gives such idiots the right or license to fly an airplane? and if he touched the cars when landing? what if people were hurt? Such "Pilots" should be banned from flying at all and work in the areas associated with piloting p. s Hello American guys from Russia!)
