Plane makes emergency landing on busy road : Watch Video

A small plane made an emergency landing on a busy road in California’s Huntington Beach and it was caught on camera.

According to local media reports, the pilot was forced to land after her plane lost power, shortly after takeoff. Incredibly, neither the pilot nor a single person on the ground was hurt. No property – including the plane – was damaged either.

A dash cam installed in Chris Young’s car captured the emergency landing. He was driving to work on Friday when he heard a strange noise. “I looked up and saw the plane literally through my sunroof,” he told. 

He put his hazard lights on and weaved back and forth to stop traffic. “I was kind of holding traffic back for her because I knew she was going down right there,” Mr Young said. 

Mr Young said he and a cyclist (also seen in the footage) made their way to the single engine Cessna Skyhawk seconds after it landed. The cyclist went to check on the pilot while Mr Young called 911 for help.

“He tapped on the window and gave a thumbs up and she gave a thumbs up back,” Mr Young told . The woman was the sole occupant of the aircraft.
