A pilot who made an emergency landing on a highway, crashes while attempting to takeoff again and it's all caught on tape by the local news media.

Pilot pushing his luck!

Engine didnt sound too strong when he was starting his run.. was sputtering pretty bad...

Should have taken his chances with a little paint scraping from the tow truck.

Does the sheriff have the right to let air traffic use a city street without proper FAA procedures and check lists.. Could have been other aircraft in the area...

That absolutely defies belief! Did he get approval from the FAA I wonder? I guess he must have done, but they don't let just any moron attempt to fly a plane off of a road! And hitting two trucks with the wingtips?! Was he blind?

wow
