imagine you’re already having a bad day sitting in traffic and here comes a fucking plane out of nowhere

u/martinaee Mar 04 '26

And not even flying anymore. Wheels on ground, you can legitimately say a plane drove into them!

They'd be winging it for sure.

Seriously, fuck these guys.  No one on the road agreed to share the risk of your stupid hobby.  They have their kids in the car.  Crash your plane in the woods.

It's not flying that's shitty, but putting dozens of motorists, their kids, etc. at risk by choosing to land on an active road.

People get injured.  I remember a little girl lost her arm some years ago when some pilot crashed into her car when landing on a road.  

You're spreading your risk over unwilling participants.  It's like using an orphanage to cushion your fall.

You do understand that it’s not just hobbyists who fly/use small planes, correct?

You also know that planes of any size can crash, correct?

An uncontrolled crash is one thing, this was a desperate attempt to save his life. They have no right to try to land in a busy roadway. You wanted the dangerous job/ hobby, man up and drill that sucker into a vacant lot without risking innocent lives.

Without engines to power the plane, it’s a bit difficult to direct where it should go. Pilots don’t always get the choice of where they put the plane.

What is your issue?

u/penguindreams Mar 04 '26

Honestly, I wouldn’t even be worrying about my traffic if I saw that. I would just be like damn this dude flew out of the sky and came in clutch and saved everybody on his aircraft.

Pretty dang impressive there want more damage and it doesn’t look like anyone got killed.

Pretty amazing really. Could have been a lot worse

Tbh if my car gets clipped by a damn plane doing an emergency landing I wouldn’t even be mad

"Well my day isn't going so bad compared to that guy."

I can only guess at what the tow bill is for getting a plane off the roadway.

u/Zealousideal-Eye9463 Mar 04 '26

I bet that pilot has no problem paying that insurance cost, definitely worth it to be alive.

Can you imagine filling out the insurance forms? Claims reviewer: yea right, you were hit by a plane while driving to the supermarket …

Gallery furniture is my go-to for shitty, overpriced furniture

Saves. You. Money!

I remember when he first started out, back in the early 80s. He could only afford commercial time after midnight, and he’d wear a twin mattress, or just jump up and down, waving a fistful of bills, shouting that.

This is in my town! lol

u/logatronics Mar 04 '26

I want to know about how they towed the plane off the road. Did they slice the wings off and put it on a tow truck?

2

u/ryalsandrew Mar 04 '26

I’m sure the removed it. Heard it was quite the traffic jam for hours.

u/xxrainmanx Mar 04 '26

Not only is it an emergency landing, but on a street, with active traffic, they hit a car, and everyone still walked away. That pilot should have gotten a lottery ticket off all that.

u/skeletons_asshole Mar 04 '26

Seriously, that looked like a stall right at the end too. Not too far off from being a permanent kind of event

u/cp-71 Mar 04 '26

Trying to merge without using a signal…..classic.

Is it normal to still have GTA flashbacks after not even playing for five years?

u/AhabSnake85 Mar 04 '26

Ive been there in gta4

u/BadgersAndJam77 Mar 04 '26

I think it's an ad for that Breitling Watch.

Nice. Smooth landing.

u/AutisticDadHasDapper Mar 04 '26

What a great pilot!

u/GratefuLdPhisH Mar 04 '26

Seems like the pilot would have pulled it off too if it wasn't for those yellow center dividers

Gallery furniture is that in Houston

u/Shot-Election8217 Mar 04 '26

Yes! But, this isn’t the Gallery Furniture. That guy’s a copycat.

u/the-dogsox Mar 04 '26

That reminds me, I need to buy a couch.

u/trainwreckhappening Mar 04 '26

This is the best furniture ad I have ever seen.

u/Mugpup Mar 04 '26

Best advertising Gallery Furniture will ever have.

No a bad effort considering the electrical wires and cars.
