That pilot is a hero, and so is everyone who helped to get the roads open again. We appreciate you all. 🤗

Wow this is a very lucky person icing is a killer. By the time you notice it you’re in big trouble. Very smart move by this pilot

LOL! They loaded it sideways on the flatbed. 🤣

The Thruway and Route 9W are both built for emergency landing, so why should he have to pay?

and they GOT IT OFF THE ROAD SO IT DOESNT BLOCK TRAFFIC. Jesus man in North Carolina, they have 124 fire trucks and make a camp spot on the highway. I dont miss that crap.

lol I live in northeastern NC, you’re right 😅

@ it’s like the more lanes they can close to better. In Chicago I once saw a state trooper plow a car off the road when the guy couldn’t get it off the road. I-55

Wonder if he had to pay the toll ? Lol

Icing in the air when it’s 17° on the ground? Who knew? 😀

I’m sure it wasn’t in South Carolina where the plane took off from.
