Flew 2 minutes and landed on a busy highway. No regard for innocent people on the ground. Pilot's #1 thought was to save his / her ass....
# 1 cause of crashes is pilot error.
Getting worse by the day.
DEI creating more issues.

I would strongly disagree with you on this particular incident.

The pilot was not only responsible for his life, but also his passengers.

Satellite images show houses and trees everywhere else. Landing there would have certainly killed someone on board, maybe even on the ground.

Looks like he was low, just after takeoff, so he didn't have much time to react and decide.

I don't read that he hit any cars, so the highway must not have been too full of traffic.

It's certainly possible someone screwed up somewhere, but I would hold off pushing blame until we have more info about what caused the emergency.

I'm just saying don't jump to conclusions.

And you know this how? Pretty much everything you've said is easily disproven just by reading the article you posted.
What about the pilot's regard for the innocent paying passengers in the back? And he put it on the highway without a single injury to anyone, yet it sure put a bee up your bonnet. Since you clearly don't know, the #1 cause of accidents in aviation is weather. Pilots certainly are responsible for quite a few, and DEI will certainly increase that number. However, in this accident, there is no evidence to suggest that at this time.

President Joe Biden said Friday he doesn’t believe the U.S.-Mexico border is secure, giving an unusually blunt assessment on the state of surging migration as he pushes a deal in Congress for “massive changes” to address border security.
“No, it’s not,” Biden said when asked by a reporter whether the border is secure after he gave remarks before a bipartisan group of mayors at the White House. “I haven’t believed that for the last 10 years, and I’ve said it for the last 10 years. Give me the money.”

The legal world will disagree with your opinion.

BAD WEATHER + PILOT ERROR = DISASTER​

Whatever was wrong - the plane only climbed to 1000’ and got to 100 or so mph before it had to land. It wasn’t going to stay in the air all the way back to the airport. I would say: ”Great Job Getting it down without injuries!”
 
So, a pilot is trained to land on a highway ?
This year is off to quite a start.
I don’t usually argue with idiots but as I’m both a pilot and A&P as are both my brothers and and our father was a 747 captain with thousand of hours I will make n exception……the pilot is trained to find a landing spot with maximum survivability for both passengers and people on the ground…….it seems he did that…..

No no, the pilot should have gone inverted then done a split S back towards the runway.

You know, like in the movies! 😃

I was asked why I had this interest. Here's the deal. I have been on my homestead for 8 years. There was a small rural airport here when I moved in. I would say it was lazy. A few years ago the runway was extended and now the larger planes are now frequenting the airport. Many of the Flexjet and Netjet planes are in and out of here now. There are now flight schools and plane rental companies.
I get to watch the show. The difference between a Netjet pilot and a pilot taking his first solo flight is, to say the least, staggering. Especially when that solo flight is over my house.

Where are you trained to land ? Was this an option for this pilot ? Or, was this just luck ?
Runways are preferable, but that was not an option for this pilot.

The aircraft was a Cessna 208. They don't need much room to land. It's not like a jet.

Landing on a highway is usually a gamble, but sometimes it's your best option.

We are trained to take the best option.

I can appreciate your concern.

If it helps, student pilot's are trained for emergency landings BEFORE they ever solo fly.

So, "Kill the Umpire".. ?... Seems the problem's still exist. Perhaps the Speaker is not the problem.

It isn't the only problem but it is a problem. He is the voice of the people right now. Perhaps he should represent their will. I don't believe the majority signs on to what he is agreeing to. Deadlock is better than bad deals.

The problem is "the voice of the people" will never get past the Democratic majority in the Senate.. Nor will it get past the President's veto.
 
Happy Saturday. TRAIN... I don't care how or where you do it just TRAIN. And BTW anyone who is going to say I'm a Fed, go fuck your self in advance.
I can only hope when they go to TRAIN they will take one of those unfired weapons out of the safe and run 100 rounds through it.
Doubt you are a FED... Their plan is "Bread and Circus"... Hold the couch down.

So shut the government down. Send all the non-essentials home. Democrats get their power spending others people’s money. Republicans in House play to win or they should formally swap their allegiance to Democrat and make it official.

Relating to the Texas border policy, once upon a time Andrew Jackson was told by the Supreme Court that removing the Native Americans wasn't constitutional. He told them to pound sand. So they're only the final word on an issue if they have the force to back it up. There's probably a lesson there if I cared to consider it more deeply.

i think at some point...
after they have trotted out these clowns enough times...
so people have seen the costumes and associated it with "patriots"...
something bad will happen, and grainy footage of people dressed like this and fleeing the scene will emerge...

Are you gonna straight face tell me half those faces dont look like Feds?

One of the first thing I have learned in flight school is "do not land on the f*cking highway". I was learning at LSGS. If you look at it on the map, it's a CIV/MIL airport, with the highway almost parallel. BTW. Was fun to see F/A18s passing by at the intersection.

In the EASA program we spent hours to simulate engine failures and emergency landing, before the first solo flight. For the little story, the second time I went out for the engine failure "drill", I had a the engine literally about to stop (winter/low cold temp) at ~100ft AGL. My instructor was stunned, said something like "jez, what the fuck ..", "prepare to land in the grass ahead" (was in simulated final), followed by "my command" and the engine went back to life just afterward.

I remember seeing a women with a horse ridding there in the middle of the field.
