Harrowing moment pilot lands plane on North Carolina highway after engine failure

Pilot Vincent Frasier was forced to land his single-engine aircraft on a North Carolina highway after experiencing engine failure, and it was all caught on tape.

Being a pilot means knowing that someday you may have to contend with mid-air emergencies, but Frasier handled the situation like a champ and, despite being forced to land on a roadway amid traffic, there were no injuries reported from the incident.

Footage from the plane shows the pilot navigating some light traffic as he tried to land.

Watch:

The emergency occurred as Frasier took his father-in-law to see a Fontana Lake property he had just purchased. At some point during their flight, the only engine started to fail.

“I started going through my checklist and I was able to get the aircraft to restart and kind of fly a little bit, but she would only fly for 3 to 5 seconds, and then she would come back down and start to sink again,” Frasier explained to local news station News 13.

“By the grace of God, I looked to my left, and you couldn’t see it before because, you know, it’s just all valleys and mountains, but there’s a road — that road that I landed on just right there, perfectly lined up,” he continued.
