  1. Scary landing but a testament to the high standards of our interstate highway system.

    I’ve driven on some 4-lane city streets that were 8 feet wide per lane. Some SUVs are more than 8 feet wide. Geniuses. (Sarcasm.)

  2. The “brick in a box” was a plot element of an episode of the old Damian Lewis TV show “Life”. Gift wrappers in the mall would take the X-box and return a wrapped box filled with the brick.

    So, everything old is new again.

  3. I’m earning my private license now. When it comes to emergency landings, open dirt fields are the preferred option. I’m guessing this guy landed on the road because it was too dark to find any other suitable landing sites. Good skills!
