Viral: emergency highway plane landing

Today’s viral video of the day, pilot Kyle Davis just made a gravity and death-defying landing on a highway, somehow missing cars, trucks and little boys on bicycles. It’s going viral right now, so check it out. Also below – the description from the YouTube page.

The pilot, Kyle Davis, 22, and his passenger, Joe Surowiec, were flying from Winter Haven to Lakeland Sunday when they experienced engine failure.

Realizing the engine wouldn’t cooperate, Davis was able to land the homemade plane safely on Havendale Boulevard.

“The options for me were land on the road or land on the lake,” Davis said.

Davis is a part-time flight instructor with 1,300 hours in the skies. His own flight instructor, John Amundsen, calls his roadway landing incredible.

“Watching that video, he was just awesome,” Amundsen said. “I just hope, you know, if I ever have a situation like that I can be as cool as Kyle was.”
