It's good to see him pull off diagonally to not block all the lanes from passing him, creating a huge road block. Took some guts/skill to put it down in between the poles, and overhead road signs.

He will probably get a photo-radar speeding ticket within a week.

That was a nice landing!
I am surprised that the drivers allowed him to merge into traffic so easily...

It was nice to not hear a long string of profanity and stupid comments on the video. I guess the Canadian version of the FAA will figure out what happened.

Motor still turning wasn't it and the landing was very controlled so I wonder if he was too low on gas to find a better spot to land that Cherokee

An aviation site I'm on has more info.
Mechanical issue with the engine left him with partial power. Not enough to maintain flight. |

Look at those two A-holes tailgating the plane, as if they are in a major hurry.
I would love to pull them out of their car, kick their ****ing teeth in, and ask if they are still in such a hurry.

^^^ Huh...the first thing I thought of when viewing was that the two cars were providing blocking for the plane to land.
Different perspective I guess.

Hard to tell from the camera angle how far behind the plane the two cars were.

No they were about 10ft away.
Determination is no longer a factor.

The plane does let out quite a bit of black exhaust when early in the video..
Tailgating, seriously?....kicking teeth in WTF...
