They decided the meal on the flight sucked so they decided on drive thru.

what were the people driving the opposite direction were thinking? "oh i'm just landing my fucking airplane on the street"

No, I bet they were thinking:
"Holy shit! When did I drive onto the airport!?"

Rendell

Yeah I think I can wait for my first engine failure, my heart almost stopped just sitting at the computer.

GOOD job not being behind the aircraft!!
jamir

fuck the wings lol…

That's what I'm thinking. If I'm on the ground, stopping, and safe, I don't give a shit if I dent a wing on a light pole.

Great job keeping a cool head, no distress call needed! (but not really enough time anyway)

Planes don't just drop out of the sky because the engine stops. They can glide to safety, it's really not that big of a deal.

Ben

It is quite a big deal if there's not a decent landing area within gliding range. An engine failure at that height over a built up area doesn't leave you a lot of options.

you are an idiot

Ben

Try more fuel next time

"Watchthewing WATCHTHEWING!"

Ummmm… I just landed on a two-lane highway. Don't scream at me now.

Did that guy say "sorry" at the end? After gliding that thing in?
BigBallen

That is the definition of "Keep Calm"!

Keep Calm and Glide On.
