Plane lands at a busy intersection in Ca, no one hurt. (video)

Looks like plane was fine to be towed back to airport too.
Great dead stick landing (I assume it dead stick, because why else would you land on a city street)

?Several days ago, a small plane headed to John Wayne Airport? in Orange County, California had to make an emergency landing. With no other options, the student pilot and his instructor had to settle for a street in Irvine. Impressively, Piper Cherokee's? landing went off without a hitch, and one lucky driver even caught the end of it on video.

A small plane with an instructor and student pilot made an emergency landing on an Irvine street Wednesday evening, authorities said.

The Piper Cherokee aircraft landed at 6:18 p.m. near John Wayne Airport at Red Hill and McGaw avenues during rush-hour traffic, coming to a stop at MacArthur Boulevard, Irvine Police spokeswoman Farrah Emami said.

The plane is based at the airport, but is owned by Orange Coast College, said airport spokeswoman Jenny Wedge

No injuries or damage to the plane was reported, and the Federal Aviation Administration will conduct an investigation, Wedge said.

Because the plane’s wings do not fold up, the plane will be parked outside the airport until Thursday morning, when it can be brought inside through a wider gate, Wedge said.
