Don't see the problem as it had the green light. Talk about having everything come up just right, light didn't change against it, no one turning right. The only problem I can see is a ticket for blocking two lanes. The pilot did an excellent job here.
Should have turned on the emergency flashers after the stop at the curb, too.
I love how all the cars just go around it like this happens every day and it's no big deal.
Don't see this everyday! Good emergency landing! Almost as good as a real runway! A 5 lane street comes close to typical runway with for small GA aircraft.
