New pilot makes emergency landing on Utah I-80 freeway

A young pilot having only been flying for 6 months was flying from Idaho Falls, ID to Provo, UT with one passenger when the oil pressure dramatically dropped and then the engine seized and failed. Having wisely chosen to plan his flight over the less trafficked Interstate 80 he was able to find an opening in the traffic and set the Cessna 172 down on the freeway. He and his passenger then pushed the plane off the shoulder to allow cars to pass. (www.ksl.com) 更多...
