[asim18]

Respect.

[plsniper]

Awesome job! A little bit of luck, great skill and nerves of steel. I'd like to buy this guy a beer.

[DouglasMiles1]

Pull over, I think we just passed a gas station. I agree with the good job making the emergency landing. I do, however have an issue with this. From what I could see and hear from the video, it sounded like a fuel starvation situation. They were able to restart the engine twice, each time it stopped again after a few seconds and sounded like it was producing plenty of power while running with no roughness. What was the cause discovered to be?

[Zerocool003]

@DouglasMiles1 If I remember correctly, that is the cause of the incident.

[dadoftwins031404]

wow....great emergency landing

[Skyrodude]

Hahahah:

''Watch the wing watch the wing watch the wing''

Pilot: ''FUCK THE WING!''

[MacMan4193]

haha Fuck the wing

[kkirT]

He should just have asked the admin to change sv_gravity to 100.

[dgreen305]

@kkirT LMAO!!! sv_gravity hahaha

[milla4da8killa]

Imagine what was going through the minds of the people watching a plane land on a highway...

[thoward458]

Good job Kyle!!! great to meet you this week - my brush with celebrity : )

Glad you are ok bro - if this ever happens to me, I want you at the controls - cool as a cucumber

[MaulePilot]

hmmm.......

[arturoesteva]

the landing was pretty fast though..

[tatorsal]

@arturoesteva emergency landings mostly are from my experience...

[glennvanderakt]

Lucky bastards..

[pointmanzero]

I am just a student pilot, but all I can say is NICE!

The pilot handled that situation right.

Some pilots die in that situation because they panic and forget to fly the plane.

He did a good job of remembering to fly the plane first, and worry about the engine second.

Good awareness in finding a spot to land, and good landing.

I bet he really needed a beer after that though.

[MrSpike13]

Brilliant.. didn't even damage the plane. in fact they may as well have just pulled in to a petrol (gas) station, filled up and carried on haha

[gregsalter]

Ah, good ol' YouTube comments, where morons who can't LOOK AT THE DAMN NEWS LINK automatically chime in with their "Fake" declaration, because they want to feel smart.

[Nufer]

Sweet! Nice flyin! Retards of those who think it's fake. UR asses R fake shitheads!

[rks1199]

FYI-this did happen in the town I live in....I know people who actually saw it....

[kosicat]

I think these guys should be interviewed by the NTSB, in our country they will be in big trouble. That engine sound very, very healthy .

[xmasiguana]

They were interviewed by the FAA who showed up right after the incident was reported, viewed the entire video and determined that the pilot acted appropriately. You have zero basis to make any judgments on the engine so please save it.

[simplycomplicated65]

why....was there any damage? Your dumb

[ronilrd]

@kosicat they are rotax engines. pretty crappy unreliable engines they could be full of water and they still sounds the same

[kosicat]

Do you c any vechiles, what a good setup!!!

[grogrof]

fake

[kosicat]

Hi guys, please catch a wake up, cant you see that it was planned. Engine started 3 times at the right moment!!!

[jameswilcockn64]

uh...right moment? correction-restarted twice, the engine failed in cruise flight, they restarted it as they were descending and if failed again as they were trying to climb out, it's real, you can't do those kinds of things for fun.

[shotojojo1986]

Why do people always think a conspiracy. It was not fake.

[matrixhed]

Kudos!! Man, I was hollering for you guys. Beautiful landing. Good thing the prop kicked in for a few extra seconds!

[Gtrizy]

be so funny to pull into mc donalds drive trough!

[Toby333999]

Good reaction! But they were lucky to have an emtpy street. Maybe they will choose a higher altitude the next time, when they are crossing a city to have more time...

Regards

[tenorbasstbone]

Wow!

But it was really?

If yes, when was happened? And where?

[Gatorzzz09]

Saw this on Local 6 this morning. Coolio.

[rebeltag]

Could you imagine seeing a plane setting down in the opposing lanes as you drove past?

I'd end up on the sidewalk or in a ditch...

[onemadmex]

Kyle, you're one cool cucumber! Great job man!......

[ultimatedumbass]

Great job, could have ended in tragedy. The pilot managed to get the best possible outcome.
