EAA Plane lands on Highway 41

[UEGiPHoBiiA]

When the highway system in America was designed, it was designed to have long, flat, straight stretches where planes could land in emergency. That is why highways don't move with the land in America, like they do in Europe.

[kw757]

@UEGiPHoBiiA What have you been smoking? The roads are straight because that's the shortest distance between two points. You only make a curve in a road when you have to.

[UEGiPHoBiiA]

@kw757 While that is one benefit to having straight roads.. it would have been less expensive and easier to build roads that move with the land. The original highway system in America was proposed for Military use. Being able to move troops and supplies quickly across the country in their time of need. There are multiple reasons why the highway system has straight stretches. However at the time of it's conception, the idea of being able to land a plane on one was considered.

[kw757]

@UEGiPHoBiiA Building roads is all about balancing costs. Going around hills saves digging, but costs more in concrete/asphalt. It's all about compromise. Not accusing you of lying, but just of believing something that is untrue. The plane-landing idea is a known myth. Check it out on Snopes dot com if you don't believe me (type Landing of Hope and Glory into the search box.) Highways have been used to land a plane in a pinch, but they were not planned with that in mind.

[arubananne]

this asshole cop automatically reaching for his gun..

[mapleleafs8155]

i actually know the pilot and got a ride in the same exact one from this video haha

[nathantravisray]

Good job pilot.

[DAMIENloh1970]

Was that an AT 6?

[MasterADG1]

Looks like he's on the highway...to the dangerzone. *puts on sunglasses* YEAAAHHHHH!!!

[Gyroglle]

I'd hate to be the pilot and have to explain to the cops that I ACTUALLY had an engine falure and that I wasn't going to pay the 500 dollar fine for speeding.

[tuberousness]

Save a life... Share the road!

[vistaway3008]

did that cop reach for his gun? when he approached the plane?

[dragon32210]

@vistaway3008 no, he's reaching for his radio

[willettgarrett]

omg i have been near there!

[Hillbilly13579]

I swear to drunk officer I'm not god.

[jonahmoffatt]

Roads? where were going we dont need roads !

[LGSPTJ]

@jonahmoffatt great movie series

[kelzclive]

License, registration and insurance please. You know you were going a bit too fast back there.

[94Imad94]

most wanted: GIVE UP NOW, ITS ALL OVER!!

[furiousgeorge18]

What seems to be the problem officer?

[debkenny04]

[TheHawkeye518]

[stealhty1]

[fifmasta]

why is the cop keeping his hand on the gun? paranoid usa?!

[Sallyallie89]

@fifmasta It's a habit for most cops. They do it so people can't just reach in and grab it easily. 

[maupzal1]

pilot licence and registration please.

"GET ON THE GROUND SIR"

"Wha'd i do?"

"YOU DIDNT PAY THE 1.50 TOLL ASSSHOLE"

[tj987654987654Andrew]

@mrfourtysevenman

I'm still laughing

[HustlenDreams]

@rampageatthepark loll i shouldnt laugh at this but i like it...

[chorstma44]

I would have loved if the cop asked him for License and registration and say, "Do you know how fast you were goin?"

[ZEROEca]

What the hell The pilot nor the passenger are black. the officer was reaching for the volume on his radio because there was so much chatter.

[eveningniteshade]

Notice how when the cop realised a large coloured man was flying the plane he reached for his gun/taser & kept his hand there while talking to him

I suspect he thought the negro gentleman had stolen the plane.

[kidboyman11]

he was soooooo close to the airport, i live right near where he landed

[joedee79]

he was late for work

[AnggoroRob]

i think the pilot is crazy

[Romi060606]

hahahahahahahaha

[elclon474]

[joedee79]

[glennbun420]

[Jace981]

[cosmicgate07]

[tubeparker23]

[SpeedDemon88X]

Well at least he landed safely.

[Rs2Recordings]

[lemob182]

[aiverson3nugs]

[scovronski12]

dude i live a few miles from were this happened. it was just north of oshkosh. the responding officers were winnebago county sheriffs deputies

[Jessbess1318]

UMMM... NOT Winnebago County deputies, it was WISCONSIN STATE PATROL that responded. A trooper is the one you see walking up to the pilot!

[leader72]

[CrazyAbe101]

i fucking knew it!! i was at a party and i told my sister i saw an airplane that was really low and shaky. and she said ahh its probably nothing!!

[ZEROEca]

I was there, the police had no idea the guy was going to land. he landed in moving traffic right after rush hour.

[BJWTF]

officer: do you know that you were speeding on the highway?

pilot: i shit im sorry please dont give me a speeding ticket :-p

[ermollejuo]

[KSIbucky]

[turbo0718]

[kyotoair]

[lLeirbag64]

[tomvandyke]

[wildwattsy]

[BeechSundowner]

[rustyshack2008]

i live in fond du lac and that was crazy...the next night another plane had to land on a highway somewhere by Milwaukee

[Caboose1553]

hey jedicthulhu wher in wisco are you from? and yea now today a guy was killed in a crash : |

[jedicthulhu]

I live 20 minutes from where this happened, it was pretty exciting. People fly in all the time for EAA, it's lucky this guy kept a cool head and used the highway when his engine failed.

[xForeverMinex]

it seems that you never see something exciting in your live that you have to tell yt-peeps that you live 20 minutes away, lol.you´re making my day.

[mobzapper]

IN RESPONSE TO xForeverMinex: I live 4 miles away from somebody who had a cousin who used to live in the same state as the person who used to date a girl who works as a secratary who makes the dashboard cameras for law enforcement vehicles. So this video really shakes me up like a 7.0 earthquake after a week long meth binge. I think I might go buy a Ninja themed blanket bet set for a homeless person in Chicago now. Thanks for posting video.

[xForeverMinex]

sorry, but this was to much english for me.dashboardcam, ninja sets, earthquake?sorry, im from germany and my english is not so good.

[Defenseman]

Germany is not known for their ninjas nor their blankets.

[NigelHKR]

I saw this on BBC news here in England great stuff !!!

[rrsstx]

IMagine driving on the highway !! when all of a sudden you see a plain right in front of you! LMAO !! Hillarious!!! Also imagine those guys who the State Troopers were about to bust got saved by the bell, or should i said PLANE ??

[2fox76]

I guess reality is too much for you to handle...So by me being there and witnessing this makes me a liar I guess. fdlreporter com look for yourself

[Shizukese]

and also.. if u look closely at the oposite side of da highway at 00:30 u will c that they r slowing down... A LOT...and that they couldn't b slowin down from a crash... u can tell it wasnt from a crash just by lokin at it.... then again who wouldnt want 2 c a plane blacking all lanes of the highway...

Just goes 2 show its NOT fake and we wisconsinites luv 2 c things fall from the sky =^P

[Shizukese]

WOOT... i live like.... 15mins away from where that happend!!!! =^P

BTW... IS NOT FAKE!!! its a DASHBOARD cam on a COP CAR!!!

Plus, i live close 2 where it happend... it was on the NEWS... it is NOT fake....

[jayboi1318]

Nobody said it was.. Also, if it was on the news, it wouldnt be would it?

"Oooh somethings been put on YouTube, Lets make a news report about it!"

[fischer2011]

I guess the motor home that was pulled over new the guy in the plane..

[fischer2011]

How could you fake that???

[at6dpilot]

Take a look at the FAA accident/incident database.  Here is what it says:

"AIRCRAFT, REGISTRATION UNKNOWN, A NORTH AMERICAN T-6, MADE AN EMERGENCY LANDING ON A HIGHWAY AFTER REPORTING AN ENGINE PROBLEM, FOND DU LAC, WI." 7-22-07

[at6dpilot]

It is real. It is a North American AT-6, wwII advanced trainer, either D or G model built in around 1944.

[jonesz75]

this is not fake people. I live in Fond du Lac, and this really happend. the police were not notified until 1 min before the landing and did not have time to stop traffic. the plane blew a rod and the engine ceased.

[uwsinger]

Its definitely NOT fake... I just did an interview with him this morning for Inside Edition (watch it tonight!)

[tracker1312]

cnn*com/2007/US/07/23/plane.on­.highway.ap/

[mkrug4]

wow, its nice to know that all those people tried to help

[jasonlajoie]

That's Wisconsin for you.

[mzmadel]

wow who ever thinks this is fake, is really stupid

[CameraJess]

Thats so freaking cool, i saw it on the news. :)

I'm glad everyones okay, though. Could have been much worse.

If anyone is interested in stop motion, or knows how to actually do it, check out my videos and give me advice. ;) I'm just starting out with it, so i pretty much will take any advice you give me. THANKS!

[impies]

Your uncel lies!

Hhaa! lol

[impies]

Fake Video...using a model aeroplane, wires, mirrors and camera trickery.

[uffe91]

Hhaa, lol. This is SO NOT FAKE. My uncel drove past!

[drahcirski]

not fake..it even reached news in england

[4G63PoWer]

gay

[tracker1312]

impies, What year is it? 1960? Model airplane, wires, mirrors? HAHAH! Funny. Ever heard of computer generated animation with compositing...lol. And BTW, this is not fake. The lighting is too damn good, (besides the fact that it made the news). If someone could fake it and make it look this good, they need to be working at ILM.

[impies]

Mmmmmm! Reading the comments it is obvious some people are easily taken in. Tracker is correct... some computer trickery was used as well.

Have fun suckers!

[2fox76]

Aside from seeing this with my own eyes, its not fake sorry to burst your bubble. Try looking up Green Bay's NBC 26, CBS 5, Fox WLUK....watch some interviews, see the squad cars...nuff said...

[impies]

My bubble is intact, thanks.

Thank you for pointing me in the direction to watch some squad cars. I don't think I'll bother..... I can't be arsed.

[evanlaing]

freakin sw33t

[aaronk84]

Someone should've gotten a picture of the squad car behind the plane... You know, looking like he got pulled over.

[evanlaing]

[gaylecothrannn]

President George S. Patton is NEEDED in 2008 !

[moxuh]

[nova68nova]

That was actually pretty sweet. He was having engine trouble, and landed on the highway. Beautiful landing, didn't even touch a car. Nice.

[smoo9309]

I can hear the officer now "do you know why I pulled you over"?

[motorkola]
