The Michigan pilot, 65, reportedly didn’t want to land on the highway but realised he had no choice to save himself and his passenger. A witness said the pilot looked calm despite the high-stakes landing.
Guy actually did one helluva job putting it down the way he did, but I'll betcha a buck he got drunk as fuck after the dust settled. And - by the way - if anything like this ever happens in front of you, do NOT stop behind the vehicle. Go around it and then pull over. Everybody behind that plane probably stayed there 'ti lunctime. Juss' sayin'...

There - now maybe it's time to get one for yourself?

I was driving to work one morning about 5:00 AM. As I crested a rise about 75’ in front of me, in my lane, there was a helicopter hovering maybe 4-5’ off the road surface. The pilot saw me a second after I saw him. I braked from about 90mph (5:00 AM remember) just as the pilot lifted and I slid under him. If he was half so scared as I was, he was in no shape to fly.
