Watch This Plane Roll Through An Irvine Street In Emergency Landing
“Are you kidding me?” says the man who accidentally caught the landing on video as the plane glides by, nearly fitting in with the rest of the passing cars as a group of drivers sit at a stoplight and watch.
A motorist managed to capture the rare moment a plane made an emergency landing on a California highway right in front of him as he sat at a red light.
The plane landed on the city street at 6:18 p.m. after the engine stopped midflight.
In the video, you can see a plane land on Red Hill Avenue near John Wayne Airport during rush hour.
She added that because the wings of the aircraft do not fold, it was to be stationed outside the airport.
Two lanes of traffic were closed on MacArthur Boulevard until the plane could be towed to a hanger.
Daniel Shrader, the Dean of Technology at Orange Coast College, confirmed to Global News that no one was injured and no property was damaged in the emergency landing.
The ill-fated outing was the first time the student had flown with the OCC Aviation Pilot Training program but Schrader said the student was exhilarated as the plane was being taken down and is eager to fly again soon.
