Dangers of Road Landings

High on the list of the hazards of road landings is that you might end up on
the 6 o'clock news...as was the case with the pilot in Baton Rouge.

As a pilot who operated off county roads, has made many landings on
freeways and interstate highways, I don't feel uncomfortable doing it.
But, the average pilot doesn't give much thought to the possible
consequences or the hidden dangers. Much more to it than meets the eye.
This was an intentional post to make pilots think and to stir the pot a
little. This includes airplanes and helicopters.

Well, it was the takeoff that he messed up.
I tend to think that all the attention was a large factor. He may have been
a little too focused outside the plane. On one occasion I had to fight a
tremendous urge to show off.
Years ago with 200hrs under my belt, I got into the line-up to fly down the
Chicago lake front during the Air & Water Show. Fighting that little voice
saying "Go ahead and roll it, you can do it! The crowd will love it" wasn't
easy to ignore, but I did. The likely outcome would have been a Tri-Pacer
and it's dead pilot being fished from Lake Michigan or worse, an encounter
with beach comers.

It is in your "temporary internet files" directory as a 6.78 mb .dat file.
What you open it with I have no clue.

That doesn't work though... If you play them it plays something else
(windoze media), if you move them from there they don't work at all...

Jay's is a clip of the clip, looking for the originals that had the
owner walking around and fueling it over the wing from a 5 gallon can...

Like you stated its 7 meg for the news story and 1 meg for the crash...
