rtammes ::: Favorites I didn't cut the film. This is the original footage which I received from a trustfull source. I thought there was a roadblock. They've cleared the road but I don't know why there are other cars than police driving on this road. 07-07-25 01:52:07 _____________________________________________________
theINChulk ::: Favorites I did not imply that you did. Its probably nothing, I just dont trust the medias to show us the full stories most of the times. 07-07-25 06:28:40 _____________________________________________________

doke88 ::: Favorites The pilot said in an interview that he was landing behind the police car because he couldn't clear it, but seeing that he was going to crash into the back of him, he purposely BOUNCED over the police car. That's a damn good pilot. 07-07-25 09:10:14 _____________________________________________________

RedZone1 ::: Favorites The guy was less than 20 miles from his destination AND there's an airport about a mile in front of him (about 15 miles from where I live). The area is INSANELY busy with planes this week due to a huge airshow. 07-07-25 22:36:10 _____________________________________________________
RedZone1 ::: Favorites It's more likely that he's adjusting his radio. 07-07-25 22:37:18 _____________________________________________________
Dspradau ::: Favorites Heh I live 3 miles from there! At least he landed safely. Funny though how the officer reached for his gun. 07-07-27 00:54:21 _____________________________________________________
